Paintings, photography, aesthetic objects, beautiful communication, and anything I consider to be art, artful, artistic, artsy or whatever.
Art is subjective. It is a quality of communication can be contributed to by the viewer through empathy or agreement with its creator.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi  (2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948) was the preeminent leader of Indian nationalism in British-ruled India. Employing nonviolent civil disobedience, Gandhi led India to independence from economic slavery imposed on India by British Imperialism and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world, including Martin Luther King, the American Civil Rights Movement and other leaders of non-violent resistance to oppression. 

THE TEST OF ART

“The test of a work of art is, in the end, our affection for it, not our ability to explain why it is good.”

SURVIVING ETERNITY

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

ONE KNOWS

ONE DOES NOT DISCUSS ETHICS
WITH A SNAKE WHEN IT STRIKES.

ONE DOES NOT SEEK JUSTICE
IN THE JAWS OF A SHARK.

BANKERS, SOLDIERS, POLITICIANS,
AND PRIESTS WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM.

POWER, CONTROL AND POSSESSION
ARE THEIR NATURAL SCHEME.

BEINGS OF GOOD WILL TREAT EACH OTHER
AS THEY WOULD BE TREATED THEMSELVES.

EVERY CREATURE SURVIVES
ACCORDING TO ITS KIND.

GOOD AND EVIL ARE SEEN THROUGH
THE EYES OF PREDATORS AND PREY.

SURVIVAL IS AVOIDING PAIN.
PLEASURE IS LOVE ETERNALLY.

ONE KNOWS THAT SURVIVAL IS A GAME
THAT IMMORTAL SPIRITS CANNOT PLAY
UNLESS THEY FORGET THAT THEY ARE THEY.
