let me try flash some light onto those dark thoughts, or maybe a thin, bright laser beam at least! @Dreamy 

i'd actually like your opinion on something i was thinking about recently - there's this person i know who loves singing/performing, they constantly post videos online of their singing and sometimes even performs live. but unfortunately they can't really hit the notes right and might be tone-deaf to an extent... we're not close or anything but it got me wondering - would you encourage this person to continue posting singing videos/performing... or would you be honest and let them know they're not hitting the notes?
