“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”
C.S. Lewis, God in the Dock
Voluntaryist
I volunteer at a not for profit clothing store. I take care of my elderly father, most of my time is spent listening to youtube videos and looking up new things. I enjoy movies video games music and other forms of media. I think all politicians are scum and voted for my own dog over both candidates. I like the idea of god but believe in divine nature and a living planet. I mostly don’t care or worry about much of anything and would not want to take a side on many issues. I resist change for as long as possible I also think that more often then not people are greedy and selfish and avoid asking for help at nearly any cost. I love to set goals and complete them. I often dream of leaving society behind.

Telling the stories one painting at a time utilizing whatever medium best tells the story!
Art is the most profound means of storytelling - a single painting can speak personally to as many people who view it - it has the ability to communicate exactly what the Viewer needs whether it be inspiration, introspection or the simple joy of looking upon something pleasing to the eye…
"Art is never decoration, embellishment; instead, it is work of enlightenment. Art, in other words, is a technique for acquiring liberty." -Bruce Lee
We share our stories with others to communicate, to form connections and show our capacity for empathy and good will - every story carries within a part of the author of that story as an assurance of their sincerity in the effort - every story has meaning, and the stories told with art allow the Viewer to create their own meaning in addition to that which inspired the Artist to create their work…
