One important step -- being to ignore that which is "paralyzingly banal,
empty, distressing, depressing, and deathly" -- and identify that which
is
invigorating, encouraging, vital, comforting, wholesome and enjoyable.

There is often an identification of both the attractive and the repulsive on
this list. I believe that such an indetification is a worthwhile goal for
the individual seeking to understand the nature of her taste. However, I
thought the question before this list was whether such a claim to the "
invigorating, encouraging, vital, comforting, wholesome and enjoyable" was
justifiable.
