Being pedantic in nature, I vividly remember those rare, unprecedented instances when this attribute empowered me to discern a meaningful pattern in plain sight, which others might glean over as being banal. All of this, fueled by keen observations, made chillingly close to the bones.

The Purpose of Writing and Articulation

To voice your thoughts or viewpoints through a story is to create your own thought-effigy, which holds you accountable for all your actions.Articulating a story into well-put arguments helps you to clarify your thoughts sincerely, honestly and accurately.

You should voice your story.

Because if you’re writing to figure out what you think, then you’re going to use what you think to guide your action and the consequence of that is going to decide how your life turns out to be. This, in turn, allows you to be serious about what you write (or think) because you know what the pathway is.It can hold you accountable for miscommunicating because if you do, you’ll warp the very structure that guides your action and you will eventually suffer for that.

It is essential to my understanding of the kind of person that I believe myself to be, that I am punctual. I also have decided that I am the kind of person who does not miss deadlines. And so it follows, that me seeing myself as a developer and a writer is also valuable, because if I am not writing, developing and learning, then I’m not “earning” that image. You can see why being vegan quickly becomes part of people’s identity too. If it was just about choosing not to eat any animal products, the diet would be tough to adhere to. But because it is a lifestyle and there’s an ideology attached to it, vegans are willing to push through all that. They don’t see it as a choice but as the right thing to do.

Let’s understand with an example

One of the things I’ve learned is that you can never get away with anything untrue, ever. The chicken always comes home to roost. You can never get away with a falsehood. And, you can never get away with weak thinking, any more than you can get away with improper action.If you tell the truth, then you have reality on your side. And therefore, I’m very careful with what I say, and I’m very careful with I write.

“When you’re a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, you’re not going to use a piece of plywood on the back, even though it faces the wall and nobody will ever see it. You’ll know it’s there, so you’re going to use a beautiful piece of wood on the back.”

Art is that subtle reality of nature to infuse the world, its bosom, with symmetry and asymmetry, chaos and order, in every manifestation of its subjects. And to assimilate art is to exercise keenness in our observation of the existence.

What is Art?

Aesthetics is the science of art.It is the joint result of an intellectual and a sensitive life: requiring an exquisite delicacy in the organisation of the nervous system, to convey to the mind the slightest impressions from the external world, with intellectual power to appreciate them.To enjoy these more refined delights of sense, which a perfect and harmonious form, or richness and delicacy of colour, or the harmonies and melodies of sound, supply to the cultivated eye or ear, is the privilege of many.But to give these “void nothings a local existence and a name” ; to fix in marble an ideal form, or to render permanent on canvas the gentle light of morning, or the bright yellow afternoon sun with heavenly alchemy; or with words alone to represent the luxurious existence itself, is the prerogative of a genius artist.

The veneer of aesthetics

It takes patience to observe admittedly that the canvas of the painting has been artful, well before the painter made his first stroke. But it lacked beauty; a superior possibility to offer the self-satisfaction of a pleasant experience to the beholder.Whatever the subject, a true artist always transfers to the canvas, and renders permanent to all visible eyes — a moral beauty: not mere animal beauty, not even the mere virtue of the form, but a higher kind, a spiritual beauty.

Beauty in observation

Imagination is the inherent power of an artist, who clothes profound truths in his work, through words in poetry, by sound in music, by colours and forms in painting, by form alone in architecture. The eye to see in the visible forms the “invisible law”, combined with the hand to give to the visible the invisible power, constitutes genius; the union of reason and imagination.

Truth of imagination

The first criteria for being an artist is to have taste.It is a hopeful sign when any artist becomes intellectually self-reliant — a sure sign of developing character and taste: when he accepts an inspiration because, in his recognisance, he believes it to be intrinsically good. Self-trust is inseparable from his being, and to inspire anyone to a higher degree of self-trust with his work is above all, to help him to help himself.He is an artist who is able to look at those truths which, transient and rare though it may be, others make still rarer by overlooking.
