Art Without Meaning Is No Art
We all have different mindsets concerning things in life. This can result due to our background and the kind of knowledge we carry.
I believe that people are wired differently, whereas some individuals always look out for something reasonable out of anything that comes their way, in the sense that they see everything they encounter as a means to teach them something.
In the same vein, there are people who don't take everything in life too seriously, they believe that some things are just for fun and nothing more.
Life is so funny that it can suit both of these individuals. The mindset you carry towards something will be responsible for the kind of result you will have by the end of the day.
For someone like me, I don't believe that things can just happen for nothing. I believe that anything man comes up with wasn't just made but it has a message tied somewhere around it.
No matter how quiet or cool it looks. Everything in life has a message it is quietly passing across, unless you are paying attention to it.
But that doesn't make anyone who is unable to see those messages or takes everything around as ordinary wrong or unserious.
So, for me, behind every art there is a message already speaking it's just left for me to decipher it, in every music, in every song there is a message. Although sometimes you might not see them right away but subsequently when you focus on it you will eventually see it.
Life is full of mystery, in the mind of every artist is a message to pass across to his audience. Nothing is empty in life. It's either carrying a bad content or a good one but it's not totally empty.
Trust me, every art already has a wrapped message and if you don't see it, then probably it's not yet for you to see it but eventually if you focus on it, you will see it.
Art is a unique way of sending information to the world, I don't think it would be of any value if it's just there for us to enjoy and smile and leave for me that's a waste of time and energy
No art is supposed to be without a message, how can you enjoy what can't impact your life? Even if you want to give it your time, you would just feel like you are wasting it.
But this doesn't mean that you have to force yourself to get a message out of a particular art, if the message is ripe for you, you will see it clearly talking to you.
The world won't even appreciate any artist who doesn't have anything tangible to offer. I don't know about others but personally, I don't like meaningless content. It's more like a waste.
The majority of the movies and songs I listened to have positively impacted my life. I can't even remember watching a movie or playing a song and not picking something out of it.
Sometimes it could be just a word, but somehow you would learn something. That is my case, I am very aware that there are people who listen to songs and watch movies and only end up entertained, trust me it's never the fault of the artist, it's most times a result of the mindset the person presented towards that art.
It's more beautiful when art gives us both the fun we want out of it and also a lesson.
In conclusion, There is a message wrapped in everything, if you don't see it, then it's not for you just it when the time is ripe you will see it.
