Suspense . . .

I went through a phase a while back, of wearing suspenders (braces, if you're from the other side of the pond) just about all the time. Well, maybe not with shorts, but the rest of the time.  Not sure if I was inspired by Mork from Ork or another source, but I ended up owning multiple sets of the in all colors and designs; gaudy and conservative. The thought crossed my mind recently while pondering tension and release in music, then suspense in movies leading to how that concept is such a common element in entertainment.  When we seek escape from the concerns, commitments and responsibilities of everyday life, we desire suspense.  Why is that?
