I really thought that 'Chapter 9: The Mysteries of Language' had a very interesting and thought-provoking message. Thinking of the Arts as something of importance and a precious entity is something that I feel is often overlooked or unknown to the general society. I see artists, writers, poets, actors, and musicians as creative souls that have God-given talent to spread the beauty that is within them with the rest of the world.
I feel that Art is often seen as frivolous, a waste of time or money, and most prevalently, something that you should not center your life on (speaking from my own personal critics). But on the contrary, I think Art is a beautiful source of passion that is just as important to the world as other "mainstream" professions. Just as doctors view patients, lawyers view cases, or accountants view spreadsheets, artists view a canvas, or a fresh sheet of paper, or a piece of music in the same way.
I've always admired artists as the only people who truly gave up their dreams. They never gave in to the "Man," threw in the towel, and ended up at a shoddy cubicle job somewhere. Artists fight for their love, never give up on their dreams, and there's just something so honest and romantic about that. And let's just face it, without art, the world would be a spinning mass of bore filled with briefcases filled with emotionless pages, carried by unaffected saps who would find it impossible to see any beauty in life. So, thank heaven for ART.
