The War of Art
"The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.
The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference.
The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference.
And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference."
-Elie Wiesel
I'm listening to an audiobook that is really quite intriguing. It's called The War of Art, by usually-novelist Steven Pressfield - "Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles." I might buy a hard copy to refer to in the future, once I'm done listening to it. It resonates with me pretty strongly so far.
Its premise is that all human beings have great works and achievements in their souls, achievements and tasks that no one else can do, but we are kept from achieving them by the greatest enemy in ourselves - resistance. Resistance opposes us in any endeavor that moves us from a lower plane to a higher one, be it spiritual, humanitarian, creative, entrepreneurial, etc.
I'll probably post more about it when I've finished.
