Klaus

Why we do the things we do is often difficult to parse out. Humans, being curious, analytical creatures, like to think that they can reason the intent behind the action. This assumption might work for simple (eg mechanical) actions but gets a lot murkier for more complex (eg social) interactions. Which is why I like stories of redemption. The action of doing good at a cost to the person effecting that action does not always come with an a priori ‘intent to do good'. Especially when the situation is novel or when the action is novel. Although this can be taught it is often a lesson best learnt through experience. In other words, it is often the reflection, the recognition, and the replication that matters more.


Telling this story in an entertaining, light hearted and meaningful way is the magic of Klaus.
