The only fact important
Two gunfighters stood face to face, ready to draw, in the street of a western town.
Creative writers may enhance the scene with useless uninteresting facts like, time of day, what they were wearing, number of onlookers, what they were wearing, women screaming for their kids to get off the street, what they were wearing, etc…all in a bootless attempt to add drama to a scene of drama.
The only fact important, yet unrealized until philosophy, was this…
“NEITHER MAN KNEW HE HAD KILLED THE OTHER.”
Think about that.
Joel McCrea told the story in one of his movies.
