Hi. We humans are lucky to have art. Art helps us to tell stories, to remember things, to express our ideas, to evoke feelings in others, and to foster connections between us. Yes, elephants can paint, but they don’t paint for their own enjoyment. The understanding and appreciation of art is one of the most complex things we can do with our fancy brains. Creating something new often starts with destroying something old. Which means that destruction can be good, a necessary part of the creative process. But when it’s destruction for it’s own sake, which only perpetuates further destruction — that’s a problem. I’m hopeful that the destruction we’re all seeing and experiencing now in our country is a necessary step toward building something better. Thanks for reading.
