Hey,

It would be great to get some opinions on this discussion topic in the Gaia Lounge:  Do artists or non-artists tend to be happier?
Thought we could get some great artist-opinions. :)

Do artists or non-artists tend to be happier?

Is there some truth to the notion of tortured artists and troubled writers, or, instead, is creativity an essential part of a happy life? Come discuss your experience and tell us what you think.

f we take artist back to age 2 or 3, that is the age most of us know our purpose lines in life.  When we all think back there is something known where the seed of our inherent talent begins whether enjoying writing, acting, coloring, design, crafts, music, dance, sports, computer IT, etc. it all begins there.  When the authoritarian system of school stops art programs they are creating non-artists but the original purpose is still there.  Once we are over school rule, we can get lucky and get back to our field of art as there are no more peeps to stop us now…even the parents that say “you need a real job”.  Artist of any type IS a real job… check out the airwaves, tv, radio, cd's, theatre, books, filled with those that never went into agreement with “authority”… so its good to practice, practice, practice your dreams.  They all do come true with this kind of persistence and moving asside other's considerations.
