That's another good point. I write what I think the world should be interested in because of my background as an Artist. You put it out there and not because they want it but they need it, lol, who knows what they need. Look at the media and sitcoms , some are pretty demeaning but they think we need it. (Simpsons, South Park) We shape societies values for better or worse like a painting that speaks of life, a photograph that touches the soul. Being driven by the authority of the elite, it doesn't make them right or good. One of the best books I read was by Theodore Drieser,"My sister Carrie," don't know why but twenty years later I still remember it and of course most of the classics that also that touched my soul. It spoke to my fears of falling intio the irreversible traps of uncontrolled passion and it's consequences. I am a very addictive person and without constant contraint I have no idea where I would be now. They speak to the soul and enlarge it. Who can know why, I haven' figured it out yet. I think we find a book that we truly need at a given moment and that is the one, however written that helps us grow. I've grown from little simple children's stories.
