There are many men and women in America who are afflicted by the misunderstanding that being an artist is akin to being someone worthwhile. That the lives of a simple Axeman or a Gardener are far inferior to the lives of an Actor or Musician. I tell you that all are necessary and that each man who breaths has a place to fill.
There are also masses who are brooding in needless discontent and worry because they think themselves lesser than a Painter or some other type of Expressionist. I believe the source of such delusions to be the fame that is attached to public positions. When lonely or frightened company is always the first sought remedy. And if no one is around solace can soon be found in an enjoyable book or movie. In this situation it can be easy to surrender one's thoughts to ideas of fantastic grandeur, mentally replacing one's own deeds and experiences with whom ever's is being appreciated.
It is important to believe in the abilities one has instead of only idolizing those of others. Because no matter what any public figure might say or do that is worthy of admiration it is always better to do something exceptional than to statically observe the talents of someone else. This does not mean that watching and learning from a master in your area of interest is negative, far from it. I only say that standing on a hill observing the countryside is far less rewarding than running through it's pastures.

This sounds like something Andrew Ryan would say.

But I disagree. The artist is explored as something entirely superficial in this piece. Creating art is not about reproducing the world around you. Inspired art contains an idea or emotion that adds meaning instead of being a mere copy of the subject matter.

you seem to contradict yourself here. Observing the countryside has its own value just as much as running through its pastures has its own value. In the beginning you talk about the fact that axemen or gardeners have their own place besides artists or musicians. Both are necessary, yet people will find their own value/meaning in the above entities.

Are you a communist?

Or at least a very hardcore socialist?

Because either way, I regret reading your chunk of text that is devoid of context, structure, interest, and logic.

You do it to yourself. Just you. You and no one else.

I assume he is trying to imply that communists are devoid of "context, structure, interest, and logic."

I agree with the OP, but for different reasons (and less thought out ones).

This.

On an offtopic note regarding communism, I'd say communism is a wonderful thing in theory but because of the human nature I've yet to see it properly function in practice.
