Not judging their reactions

Not judging their reactions 

Perhaps I have to understand and not judge certain reactions to my art work.

In my life I have pursued the right concept, the right way.  Then, with my art and writing I attempt to reflect this.  To some people, this is not always appealing.

Why?

Perhaps it is the pain of life I address.  They might not want to know of such things.  Perhaps they just want to escape, have some realistic enjoyment and not to dwell on anything larger.  Perhaps things with real content are not always appropriate.  Perhaps life is about escape, escaping the pain of time, aging and loss.  Now I can understand this and why some my efforts can be questioned.  But they are also recording slice of the truth.

Ever hear the expression: "I don't know anything about art, but I know what I like."? It's a dumb remark, similar to politicians saying, "I'm not a scientist, but there's nothing to this global warming thing." People can be largely stupid. They usually dobt know what to say if they don't understand something or even honestly don't like something. So they make stupid remarks.

Sorry for the typo. Should've read "don't". iPad acting up and won't let me correct readily. I sound a bit jaded but I've begun to learn that people have list the arts of conversation, criticism, enthusiasm, giving credit where it's due. So they just flounder. Learn how to smile; and wear a helmet.

my keypad also sticks but don't feel like rewiring. tell myself I'm just loyal to the old one.

no sweat on typos.

yes, the art of everything has been in a nose dive for quite a while. A little jaded okay. it is good to smile but still have to dodge the bullets.
