Will you make necessities of life or works of art?

Most people want to make art, but in the end it becomes a necessity.

right.

The truth is that everything is a matter of proportions. You are 78% necessities 22% art and I am 59% art 41% necessities (don't ask me why because it's made up). And life never stops because of what you are. Life is like that big river that is always flowing forward.

Paul is that 59% of the artwork. perhaps. Falling in love with a beautiful girl who is not in the same social circle as you, gambling, and becoming a journalist are all things that belong to the "torrent and experience life" in the big river! This kind of life does not stop, is transparent and comfortable, but it is easy to hit the rocks regardless of the consequences.

Some people would say that the slightly conservative character of the Chinese nation would not understand this, but it is not true, China is too big. Second, the American countryside is actually more conservative in its values, and many Chinese people don't know it. In other words, the fundamental problem is not a regional problem, but human nature. human character. Perhaps PAUL lives in contemporary China and participates in mass entrepreneurship and innovation. !

Thinking about it, he may have been born in the wrong age. Pity.

    Older Norman: [narrating] Long ago, when I was a young man, my father said to me, "Norman, you like to write stories." And I said "Yes, I do." Then he said, "Someday, when you're ready you might tell our family story. Only then will you understand what happened and why."

  • Norman Maclean: The world is full of bastards, the number increasing rapidly the further one gets from Missoula, Montana.
