What If Word Is Not The Real Language ?

What if word is not the real language? And what if the basic importance of communication is neither about who is the sender or how it was being sent?

Aside from love which is hard to be measured, music and art are two of the few fields and disciplines in life that have proven those two questions as very relatable and argumentative.

With music, we have seen many cross boundaries musicians who don't understand each others' (word-y) languages, collaborated and jammed together nicely. Classical, Jazz, and Swing are among few genres that put forward on those wordless language heavily, according to their own principles on each of their own disciplines. We can even enjoy music without really understand the lyrics or even without lyrics at all.

With art, we've seen how the works of artists who have passed away hundred years ago still resound heavily to us now. Even without really knowing about the background of the artists or their works, we're still able to enjoy them and distinct their masterpieces from ordinary pieces or from anything designed. (Yes, art and design are heavily related but in my opinion, there are few key differences between them. I will discuss about it next time.)

Both music and art world have been using wordless communication since long time ago, and although the message that they carried might be less formal and simpler, we can't denied that it is still a message, they are still ways of communicating (languages), and they are also part of the communication tools. (I can even safely say, many of us learnt a lot more about life through music and art, more than philosophy books or classes. Lol.)

So, if the real language is (possibly) not completely about words, and the basic communication is not about the sender or how it was being sent, what could have possibly you missed to acknowledge in life for all these times, while heavily relying on words to communicate, without cultivating any artistic skills?

A Perfectly Happy Artist

-When Beatrix Potter was a little girl, imagining stories about rabbits that wear smart jackets, she was a lonely child who needed to concoct some company. And when Monet paint his impressionistic water lilies, he was a man deeply dissatisfied with traditional views of nature. The inventions of writers and artists are forged through dissatisfaction. That discrepancy between the world we walk through and the world inside of us encourages some to try to build a bridge (in the shape of a book about talking bunnies or an impressionistic painting). A perfectly happy artist would be a failure.- "I disagree on the part of the perfectly happy artist, tho." "Oh why?"

Remember To Live

This quote reminded me of a conversation that I had with a close friend of mine, last week. "I don't wanna spend my entire life to find solutions.", he told me firmly. And he is one of the most logical, non-judgemental, accepting, and caring person that I've ever known. He also reads lots of philosophy books and global-issues related books, and he is actually the first person that I would go to, whenever I need a deep discussions about philosophy, history, politics, religions, and even Western-Eastern related matters. So, for someone like him, to put and end at the search of solutions, was both intriguing and yet relieving to me. Especially when it happened at the same time when I was actually trying to reconstruct my understanding and definition of time, energy, potentials, and life. The urge to improve, is just as addictive as the urge to be different, or to reach perfection. Changes could be addicting at certain point, and it works like a distraction to our mind an...

Freedom

Freedom is never cheap, but just like everything else in the world; there is always a price to pay to have it. The question is never about "How much?". Instead, it is always a matter of "Are you willing to pay the price for it?" --------- - Aim for a better tomorrow through healthy lifestyle, diverse insights, creative arts, and minimalist living. -  ViliaCiputra.com Thank you for supporting  my intention  through owning  my artworks , reading  my writings , and following  my Instagram .
