Reality

There are many things I will not understand about the world. How contradictory it is, how fickle it is. Well maybe it isn’t the world, but society. They tell you to take moments of your life to smell the roses and appreciate the beauty of life. But when writers, nature lovers, and artists take many moments to appreciate the beauty that is the good in the world; they are seen as having our heads in the sky. Then they are told to come back to Earth and get back to work. To get their heads out of the clouds and come back to reality. Yes in this life we have to be serious and we have places to go and things to do. But why is it that when one reflects on the beauty of life more than they should; they are laughed at for daydreaming? Life is beautiful. There are good things and bad things and things we don’t understand. We are told that in life; we play until we grow old enough to work. Then we work until we die. That is not what life is about. There is nothing bad about finding and admiring the good in the world. Why are artists, writers, nature lovers, and dreamers looked down upon for believing they can reach for the stars and love every moment of their life? They magnify what they see in their work for others to see. If you were to ask me they are doing everyone a favor. Life is not bland. Life is all kinds of things. It is beautiful, ugly, sad, happy, and unexpected. Creative people should not be downsized for their work or ideas. They should be thanked for sharing their perception of life with the world in my own opinion anyway. Life can be many things, it can be perceived as anything good or evil or just.  We should appreciate its beauty and flaws.
