The Artist of society, irrespective of what branch of art they undertake, is a very salient component of life in its full breadth and scope. So much so that they are one of the pillars upon which society, modern culture, stands.
In fact, with a critical eye towards this notion, James Allen, author of the gem-laden As A Man Thinketh, wrote in his reverberating book on this that:
“Composer, sculptor, painter, poet, prophet, sage, these are the makers of the afterworld, the architects of heaven. The world is beautiful because they have lived; without them, laboring humanity would perish.”[3]
The idea of humanity perishing without The Artist might seem outlandish at first blush, but maybe not. Perhaps the notion is best thought under the guise that, humanity as it currently stands, would perish. This would mean that humanity and life itself, without the appreciation for what makes life great via The Artists, would be akin to an individual experiencing life without joy.
Removing art in its every form would be removing one of the strands of life that makes it great, one of the very strands of life that makes it pleasurable, exciting, inspiring and incredibly meaningful to experience.
This shows how paramount The Artist is to the human condition, to human life, to society as a whole. Likewise, this also showcases why imagination and dreamers are so important. This is because:
“The dreamers are the saviors of the world. As the visible world is sustained by the invisible, so men, throughout all their trials and sins and sordid vocations, are nourished by the beautiful visions of the solitary dreamers. Humanity cannot forget its dreamers; it cannot let their ideals fade and die; it lives in them; it knows them as the realities which it shall one day see and know.”[4][Italics In Original, Bold Emphasis Added]
This is why appreciating the inherent ability of human potential cannot be overstated. What inspires individuals should not only be appreciated but held in high regard, for it is the fuel that lights the fires of the phenomenal, it is the engine that drives people’s motivation to achieve great things.
With these thoughts in mind, as an individual, you should consider to:
“Cherish your visions; cherish your ideals; cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow all delightful conditions, all heavenly environment; of these, if you but remain true to them, your world will at last be built.”[5]
Stay true to them, stay true to you, stay true to your course, your journey.
The power of dreams shouldn’t be looked at askance, as most of modern society does. Those that seek to trap an individual’s imagination are merely conforming to the very system that aims to do just that, and they are conforming without a second thought.
Of utmost important is the fact that:
“The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn; the bird waits in the egg; and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities.”[6][Bold & Underline Emphasis Added.]
Every dream requires a vision, every dream requires imagination. Where one goes, the other one follows.
Nothing paints a better future upon the canvas of life than The Artist.
Nothing can, and nothing will – The Artist Is Forever.
