three_4me,what I mean to say is that having is different from being.Many people have families but are far from being fathers and husbands.I really do like the way you put:When you love people and not things life is good!

paxx,what you write is extremely interesting and thank you for sharing it.I understand well what you are saying.The responsibility of a family is great.But greater is the feeling of belonging and loving that a family can provide to you.It is a blessing and I am sure you do your best.I know I would!
motion,if whe find contentment in ourselves,we can find it in oters and this a great step,because we become better human beings.A lovely thought,indeed.
Dear Jafo... To be is to do To do is to be ...these are the words of two great Greek philosophers. Do be do be do...this is from a Frank Sinatra song!!! But as it is obvious the verb to have is not included in any of these quotes.I guess back then it wasnt that important!
Once you devalue money and status you are free from the illusion they create and therefore you can see more clear.After this you can concentrate on more important things and be more creative.Maybe this is why you get more of both...Anyway,thanks for the thought Bangkokboy.
I was just having a conversation the other day about when can a person be satisfied with what he/she has got.People tend to define themselves by what they have.And not only material things are included in this possessive tendancy,but persons and feelings as well:The more I have the more I count as a person.But,in truth,isnt this the greatest delusion of modern societies? Even our language betrays our tendancy to possess,since the verb to have dominates in every day life:I have a wife,bu
I never expected there would be so much debate on this matter.But now I understand that the whole matter leads to the eternal question:what is art? Artists create only because they have no other choice.It is a means of expression.A statement to their enviroment,a need to communicate,to speak their own truth.It is their way to ballance their inner thoughts with reality.It doesnt matter if what they do is beautiful or functional.It only matters that they created it and that maybe they want to
"pioneers of application art"?!craeonics?Well,it sounds pretty interesting...Cheers!
Dear Jafo I certainly agree with you.I have the feeling that something new,something fresh and pure is arising from the pages of this site and other sites similar to this one.What I find really interesting is that ones work is accessible to a wide amount of people,a fact that gives to this artform a uniqueness that has no match.For this reason alone it certainly does deserve the recognition!
Just want to see your point of view on this matter.I find it really amazing that so many people join their creativity,display their work and share it with others.The only question I have is to what extent this is pure art or just the answear to the subconcious need of modern man to consume images in a fastfood manner.
Interesting comments may I say.All you dear people,with your contradicting points of view are a true example of the glory of Democracy.But some people on this planet can't afford this luxury.They can't express what they believe.They cant afford health care,education or even a slice of bread.We talk about evil and good,black and white,justice and punishment,but in the end it all makes perfect sense,expressed in dollars and cents,pounds,shillings and pense.Mankind really does have a way in creatin
