Live Better
27/July/2025 in Kraków
These days in Kraków,
I see student groups drawing landscapes
And I feel slight jealous of them
Because
they actively interact with the World
Because
they live better
Creative activities of all kinds is the way
to interact with the World
Painting is a good example
An ordinary landscape here
Most people pass by
Some people might take a photo, satisfied, and go
But a painter
He sits,
facing this piece of the World, hours and hours
observing,
contemplating,
& painting on the canvas
He doesn’t underestimate it
He doesn’t take it for granted
Instead,
he tries to commit to what the World gives us
As long as we are alive,
we can't stop see／hear／smell／taste／touch a piece of the World
And every moment, emotions arise
Emotions is an outcome of our interaction with the World
We can ignore
We can forget
We can try not to feel
But it is emotions that is the source of all creative activities
Creative activities let us immerse
& taste emotions to the fullest
Creative activities let us immerse
& taste the World to the fullest
"Alive" = Just the state of the heart beating
"Live" = Engaging interaction with the World
"Live Better" = Actively engaging interaction with the World through creative activities
