Today’s world has managed to overcome so many obstacles and prejudices,
grown to understand all sorts of people and opinions and reached a point in
history where almost everything is possible.
Unfortunately, art has always stayed in the background, and it saddens
me to think that in my surroundings, it’s hardly even there. Technology has
occupied every portion of our everyday lives, and creativity is nowhere to be
found. Art is considered to be something that belongs to the standouts, the
misunderstood, the strange. My circumstances offer no possibilities for
development in this particular area, ignoring my potential and crushing my
dreams.
Today, when slaves no longer exist, discrimination has been minimized
and freedom of speech is guaranteed, I see no reason why something as pure as
art should be discarded as something, dare I say, freaky.
The
capability to understand art and the satisfaction that comes from it enriches
our lives, gives meaning to our lives and uplifts us to an entirely new level
of comprehension. As George Bernard Shaw put it “Without art, the crudeness of
reality would make the world unbearable.”
