Look, I'm not interested in appealing to your chosen moral code. You have your worldviews, I have mine. I am simply expressing my thoughts, nothing more. Pay as much or as little heed as you like.

Heh heh, and again it boils down to your beliefs of what art is. Indeed, it boils down to what you perceive to be 'brutality' and 'gratuity'. Quote:
Of course not. From what I gather of you Aerich you are by all means intelligent enough to make up your own mind on how to view the world. Quote:
ps: I'm really sorry about all this post dissection. I've been picking up bad habits lately. But it's just so much easier to respond point by point. I think the points in your paragraphs were separate enough to justify isolated responses.

I'm not telling you what you are thinking, I'm repeating what you said.

Yes, as it does happen to stir about 99.9% of the human race.
What about you?

And yes, I am stirred by open conflict, as an organism I have evolved to be. However, conflict does not trouble me, being perpetually transitory as it is. Rather, it excites the fleshly, adrenal 'ecstatic' instinct in me and sets my blood coarsing. And that, for me, is the essence of art. Indeed, it is the essence of life itself: as 'life', as an ecological entity, is to my eyes a work of art to which I am inseperably bound. As it sheds its own blood and makes love with itself, so life generates the force and power of art. [ 09-15-2004, 04:25 AM: Message edited by: The Hierophant ]
