My take on creativity, ideals and empathy

I appreciate creativity and I value art because, personally, it lends ammunition to the kind of oppositional tactics people who fall through the cracks of commonly-accepted templates rely on. When you walk in on a display of ideological allegiance which contradicts your own existence you either lie to yourself and to the others and try to align yourself with a reality that's directly opposed to yours or challenge it and try to offer something new to the people who, you are convinced, are suffering from the template's limitations. If you say you're an artist this process can be made a lot easier, but you don't have to be an artist to be creative.

Children of separated parents are familiar guilt, as it imposed upon them by society for being aberrant and acting as a symbol of the dysfunctional reality behind the ideal promoted by society through cultural institutions and, through them, individuals who haven't experienced the same degree of dissonance. Ideals formulated by establishment figures who haven't experienced a great degree of elaboration from the accepted norm or those who have, but haven't come to terms with it logically, only serve to divide people and stifle natural human empathy for conditions applicable to everybody in society. Art, in that sense, acts as a medium for a social and personal energy that encourages empathy and common human understanding, that being creativity. The same institutional controls as mentioned have as much a role in art as creativity, but at least the social aspect of art encourages you to be aware of it.
