Feeling philosophical tonight.

The world is cruel.  The world is unfair.  The world is narrow-minded, illogical, nonsensical, frustrating and limited.

The world is kind.  The world is generous.  The world is accepting, glamorous, inspirational, uplifting and transcendent.

And in these inconsistencies, these beautiful contradictions, that strange and amazing phenomenon called "art" lies.

For those of us with eyes to see it.
