A Happy New Year

I wish all of my readers a Happy New Year. May your life be filled with blessings and spiritual wealth. I personally would like to improve my spirituality.

Beauty is my Passion, Pain is my Platform

My personal motto "Beauty is my Passion, Pain is my Platform" is the result of my experiences. Everyday is a step closer to our final destination; I personally don't know where that is but am sure it’s waiting for us to find out. As I journey through life I am blessed and also cursed with valuable lessons; one lesson that I may have learned and this is a quote from a once great philosopher: "Desire is the source to all suffering" Quoted by Buddha.

I desire what is considered beautiful (“beauty is the eye of the beholder”) because I want to become apart of it, I try to simulate it through my art and expression but at a cost. The price is pain; this is the result of suffering from a physical or emotional state, in my case it’s mostly emotional. Therefore the more pain that I feel is the more that I find myself closer to what I desire.

For example Mr. X needs to get a object A, but to get object A Mr. X needs object B. Object B is going to act as the medium of exchange for acquiring Object A, the problem is that Mr. X must first acquire object B, it is going to cost Mr. X some type of pain to get object B if he does not already have it. Opportunity cost chips in, also sacrifice etc. This is used to acquire object B and then Mr. X can now meet his full desire which is object A. Sounds complicated but its a simple model of all that we humans do on a daily basis.

Every human is passionate about something, that attraction to beauty is lead by desire but the cost for acquiring that beauty is pain.

I desire to be a better designer than I currently am, I try to evaluate the current trends and standards of what I consider good design, but the process of improving my design is very painful, as I have to learn how to manipulate the technology, follow the rules/protocols given and adapt to the communities for self expression. The acceptance of the community would be the reward of my efforts for self improvement. My ignorance is a contribution to my pain, it’s all simple only if I knew how, but it’s very complicated to acquire this simplicity.

I hope this article helped to stimulate any perceptions as to the mental compositions of JWM.
