You have to have the goal to act.
That doesn't mean that you have to be emotionally engaged with it.
You can engage in something 'cause you think it's a bloody good thing to do, right?
So, you can think that you should act compassionately.
You're not always going to succeed, you're going to fuck up sometimes.
Um when you do, well, you know, you say, Well, I'll put that down to an experience in life and get on with it and sometimes you're gonna succeed and then you can be happy about that, but you know that the success is gonna be transient, you know, 'cause everything is in life.
Okay, so come back to art.
Okay.
So given what I've just said, it should be clear that there's absolutely nothing to stop you
Be engaged in production of art as long as you're not attached to it in the sense of the second noble truth.
And that sometimes you're gonna fail.
Well, that's life, you know, you get used to it.
When you do, you put it behind you and get on with the next, whatever.
Um sometimes you're gonna succeed and get your art shown in the met or whatever.
But y you know that's a transient achievement anyway.
So
So you shouldn't be too attached to it.
But you that doesn't mean you can't get joy and pleasure out of it.
So I mean, bottom line is you do not have to suffer.
to produce great art.
