The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. Sing in the shower, dance to the radio, tell stories… Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you p…
An interviewer once asked Stanley Kubrick a question, “If life is so purposeless, do you feel like it’s worth living?” He answered, “Yes, for those who manage somehow to cope with our mortality.” The very meaninglessness of life forces man to create his own meaning, Children, of course, begin life…
