"Taking one’s chances is like taking a bath, because sometimes you end up feeling comfortable and warm, and sometimes there is something terrible lurking around that you cannot see until it is too late and you can do nothing else but scream and cling to a plastic duck."

~ Lemony Snicket, A Series of Unfortunate Events.
At university, I study a course that is unrelated to art. Sometimes the views that I hold and those of my friends are very divergent.

Some of my friends are doing majors in management, accounting and other commerce-related degrees. These degrees seem to promote a worldview that places importance on the things that have signalling value in society -- education, income, one's position in their job, appearance etc. The strength of such a worldview is that a person gains humility from choosing to conform to the rules of society.

I think pursuing art in my spare time has made me able to see value in the things that mightn't necessarily be seen as worthwhile in society, like doing nothing and looking at clouds all day or observing the wrinkles on an elderly person's face. To my detriment, I think it I am a bit more reluctant to observe the rules by which much of society runs, and a bit too quick to reject things that are seen as worthwhile by the establishment.

How has art changed you?
