We all have our battles, our wars.
In some, people die. In others, ideas do. Hope, inspiration, and most unfortunately, art dies too.
But war has changed – universally and metaphorically.
No one can retreat anymore. An email that will destroy your career can be sent from one end of the world to the other. There’s no disconnecting yourself from the web or what gets shared on it.
Same goes for an actual missile that can literally destroy you. The only option on the battlefield is to fight, you can be pushed backward, you can even run backward, but it’s not retreating.
- Reality check on the quote “you can run but not hide.”
Does the inability to retreat stop us from fighting wars in the East? Does it stop civil wars? Does the fact people can’t retreat stop them from killing each other? Obviously not.
So why are so many people not creating more art? Not writing more articles? Not showing people their knick knacks, their obsessions, their creations?
Are you saying that risking your comfort is worse than risking your life?
