I have always imagined Da Vinci as a man drawn by passion, that it hung on his every word and was manifest in every aspect of his life. He did not fit in a box because he has vision, he could see beyond contemporary perception. Imagine if he had sacrificed this passion for 8 hours a day, what would he have accomplished then? Would he be remembered at all?
This modern business world has become so dehumanized and shallow. Commerce is about creation, it is an extension of art, of science! Why then should we resign ourselves to a work life that is not filled with excitement and sensation. If only by the way we approach it.
What if we were to approach our life like a great chef approaches his cuisine. Savoring the experiences, the relationships, the events and even the labor for there is great beauty there as well. I have become all to accustom to this modern dehumanization and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
It is as if during the daylight hours we are robbed of our natural personality then we make a feeble attempt to return our true nature when we retreat into our homes. Where is imagination, the very faculty the separated us for a world of reaction to a world of prediction and anticipation.
What I mean is that life should not be a hopeless submission and if the majority of people feel that way then obviously we are doing something wrong. We are acting against our very natures, and this is foolish.
