Musicians, writers and painters. non was ordinary in comparison with the everyday corporate employee who thinks and lives a routine of repetitive incidents.</DIV> <DIV>Artists have mood swings, Impulsive enthusiasms and sudden depressions.</DIV> <DIV>What I've noticed as well is that no matter what kind of artist or how good you are...If you have a special talent you tend to think, act and feel things differently.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Some are so private...as if their own minds hold a universe that revolves exclusively and people, life and society become more of a visualized manifestation of how silly the world is.</DIV> <DIV>Some are exchanging universal knowledge and they would let their thoughts and art out...expressive they are...loud and articulate.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I believe that every human being has some kind of talent inside of him...either hidden somewhere or crystal clear...either acknowledged by the talented himself or left to rust and decay by his own hands willingly or by others' influence.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>It takes spirit and inner clarity for people to courageously allow themselves to interact with the talent seeded in them.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Just like it takes some kind of superiority to allow art to flow from you...to accept speciality and it's very own brush of mania.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Many artists and scientists were called mad...check out this article:<A href="http://people.howstuffworks.com/mad-genius.htm"> Mad/ Genius </A></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My favorite example ( because i love his poems ) is Edgar Allan Poe and he said:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>"<SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Men have called me mad; but the question is not yet settled, whether madness is or is not the loftiest intelligence -- whether much that is glorious -- whether all that is profound -- does not spring from disease of thought -- from moods of mind exalted at the expense of the general intellect"</SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: italic"></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: italic"></SPAN> </DIV>Mon, 10 Nov 2008 13:00:53 GMThttp://thecaller.jeeran.com/thezahir/archive/2008/11/722207.html#commentsRasha<aroza@msn.com>Edgar Allan PoemadNew PhasePassionPsycho
