Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of raising the stakes in a story or situation. The idea is that a trivial or insignificant event does not have the same impact as a higher-stakes event does. It suggests that in order to create tension and engage the audience, the consequences or risks involved must be significant and meaningful. Merely showcasing minor inconveniences or harm may not effectively capture attention or evoke a strong emotional response, thus highlighting the need to amplify the importance of the events being described or portrayed.
