Art and its motivating techniques

   "Isn't it amazing what you can do
    when you're angry?"
           Betsy Belshay

When we first realise that the things that *we* value
are NOT what the world (in general) values, is a sad
day indeed. And can quite possibly motivate us in several
of many ways, or not. When (if) we can dig deep and find
that one single factor: a memory?  a thought? ....?

If we dwell upon ourselves and only that, then there is
certainly not the reason of being an artist. Probably, i
would say its when we step outside of ourselves; ie, 
taking the internal (interior) and than translating it
into the external (exterioristic). And then re-reflecting
that back into what we feel. That moment of alienation,
that leads to the realisation of the universal. That it
is not Socrates that is on trial, not even ourselves, or
someone that we love/need/like/etc, but those that have
done nothing to deserve that treatment. When the horse 
is mired in the swamp and slowly sinks to its doom, 
and its death becomes a beacon of light that darkly
reflects what we must surely seek - that out of that
darkness, comes the shadow of the object yet perceived
and only slightly projected by the thought of the lost
thing *still* slightly out of our reach.

And it is THAT that gives us the will to go on.

    that. 
        or a "certain" duck.
