No one hears

Two sides, often violently, talk to each other and no one hears a thing the other side says.

The human race is hatefully and angrily divided into bubbles of the same viewpoint all shouting at the other bubbles of different viewpoints.

The insanity of the human mind is now so controlling that no one hears, they simply defend at any cost the self-image and its opinions.

Our views are simply just a view and it is OK for people to have a different one and it’s more than fine to not defend them with so much negativity, hate and anger. After all, right and wrong is just an opinion too.

If art was like the world

If art was like the world all the paintings would either black or white.

Even if there were different colours on the palette, no one would mix them.

Our world has become completely polarised, with us or against us, agree or disagree, yes or no, in or out.

Whatever happened to people being friends with someone who had different views, we all live in our bubbles.

The world needs to be like art, a beauty of blended colours and diversity.

We need to be able to be close to people who may not see the world as we do.

Real change comes from being able to listen and compromise. Then having a connection and trust with people who are different in order to inspire or influence them to a different perspective and that does not come by sticking our fingers in our ears and blocking out anyone who has a different voice.

Staying in our hate fuelled bubbles only leads to art of one colour.

Multi-coloured art comes from being open to differences and willing to explore something that we may not initially be comfortable with.
