How sincere is the light we shine on other’s flaws when we cannot acknowledge our own? The politician and the layman might preach and be found wanting and shunned from office, but the artist, how much do expect from them when it is their creativity and observation that can make them prone to fall in m oral outrage, and yet rise without sanction, without misgivings from the public as they continue to demand more from their insightful hero.

It seems that in the more cynical days of the 21st Century, to offer yourself up as having creativity run through you is too paint a target on your back and shout loudly, please kick me, please bring me down. Regardless of your ability, if you have the courage to offer a piece of your soul in the name of art then surely you should be allowed the brief respite of illusion.
