My Answer to the Question of Artists:

The Question: Why I am doing this, you work and work for years and the recognition is not there, I do not think I am wasting my time but sometimes I just stop and think . My Answer: well - here is a different perspective - perhaps ---------the world is actually moving towards a greater leisure class ----- in general - meaning not with boats and fast cars and high living - that is a sort of leisure class - but a leisure class in the sense that it is not necessary to have enough food, clothing and shelter for a basis sustenance simply because the many things that only the very rich could previously afford or even that did not exist for them years ago - do exist for just about everyone today - that means to have these things that were extreme luxuries of just a few years ago and very very affordable today - with a little clever thought we can realize that there is if we so choose a much greater amount of time think - thinking is good but thinking in a more directed single direction will take any individual or even a cohesive group of individuals much farther that it might have years ago - this thinking can - if a person or person's choose can be expressed in one or more of the arts or even mixed media which we see much of today - and this art that is produced can take these individuals to much further place than any man or woman has ever gone with their thinking previously and this is the direction of the future - wherever the imagination and thinking takes us - since everything starts with a thought and this thought becomes over time reality - we are - whether you or I believe it to be true at any point in time - because of both the time that we have which is leisure and can be devoted (even if it is only a small fraction of an individual's day) most wealthy because of this ability and if we so choose to focus on that part of the ability and opportunity to create art - the money part is not the point or issue but remaining focused on the ability and efforts towards the direction of thought and act of creating the art is and that is what will always bring the most pleasure and the greatest rewards - I have written an article which I have written and which you can search for - "The Most Powerful Idea on the Planet" lest I break some rule here - and I provide you with this article here: The Most Powerful Idea on the Planet ………………………………………………………………………..
