Art & Romance

29/May/2024 in Tokyo

*Japanese ver

Art and Romance are too similar

Both are NOT absolutely necessary for one's life 

Both are "Just an entertainment" for one's life

Both are very significant, yet very insignificant


If some exceptional situations appear,
such as disasters of any kind,
then who desires art works?

Art works are "luxury" at its core

Art works of all kind have far less value than
one dirty small carrot at a discount supermarket

This is just a fact all the time

And this is something we were all reminded again, when the covid started

All entertainment venues, museums/theatres/cinemas, were closed

And we suddenly started to appreciate & paid respect to a cashier in a local cheap chain supermarket, who we'd always looked down on, to be frank


Then, Romance

If the one doesn't have a job,
a place to life,
foods to eat for the dinner,
then he/she wants a romance? 

(Perhaps yes, because romance is always an escape room)

Yet, in most cases, no

Only after conditions for living are met, romance is desired

Romance is just an additional business for one's life

Romance is just an external layer for our life


Certainly
art works sometimes reveal us some sort of virtues,
such as "the truth", "the truth of life"

Yet, do we all need such things?
Such artificial, such aristocratic, such delusional notions? 

Certainly

Yet, do we all need such things?
Such artificial, such aristocratic, such delusional notions? 

Don't we actually have
far more simple
far more nonchalant
hence, far better life
without such illusions & delusions?
