I feel like I have to now. 

 

Otherwise, I don't think I'd be able to live with myself. Don't think I'd be able to wake up in the morning and respect the rather handsome, masked man looking back at me in the mirror.

Between jokes sometimes a much deeper reality stands out. Fortunately, sometimes a messenger knocking on the door, and a beautiful edition in the hands, can change the color of a dark or boring day, some bad feelings, or even a terrifying cloud.

 

Someone once told me that this is childish. That taking comfort from something like a collector edition is ridiculous. And there I looked into the eyes of someone terribly wrong. 

 

Feeling how the clouds disappear and the sun comes out with something like this ... it's not a sign of weakness, or immaturity. And not being able to see it speaks to the limitations of these types of people.

 

No.

 

It's only a sample of good taste, sensitivity, and empathy with the good and beautiful things in life.

 

We are such sensitive people, and so connected to an art, that no matter how bad things go some days, or boring; something beautiful for the first time in front of us -or in our hands- can change our faces.

 

But not everyone has that sensitivity, or that empathy, or the ability to value what is in front of them.

 

Maybe in some future generation they also will be able to evolve. Or they are simply the end of the previous step of human evolution.

 

 

[SilentasKnight]

That couldn't of been said in a more eloquent, coherent, intelligible and lucid way @Casiusco. Well put my friend!

@Casiusco Once again, you are pregnant with insights and wisdom that many of us can only dream of.

And as for this, I leave everyone here with apt quote from the great and inimitable C.S. Lewis,

 

Quote

Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves.

To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.

And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms.

Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development.

When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so.

Now that I am fifty I read them openly.

When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.

It's not just about happiness and innocence either — being more childlike also helps us to be more creative, more imaginative, more innovative and open to worlds of possibilities. Consider: as children, we are naturally imaginative, curious, able to play without a worry in our minds.

Morally, I have one goal in life: to help @Hollywood E Rock to take his photos. It's a lot of work, too much, and he doesn't have to carry that weight alone.

 

On the journey to understand the complexities of all that is Beautiful, one couldn’t ask for a better partner.

Shining. I did not know this text. Thanks a lot. You always have the right resource.

Absolutely true, and real. Sometimes it seems that in this world everything leads to not being creative: the educational system and society seem designed to cut off any creative instinct or potential creative skills. 

 

You are good if you are like the others.

 

Or as Sir Ken Robinson said, "everything is prepared so that in case of success we are manufacturing more university professors, but only that".

I'm agree. 

 

In personal life, people who are insensitive, or averse to letting go of something of the child that we all have inside, that sensitivity, or even that fragility, have never seemed to me to be trustworthy.
