Philosophy
"I have found that a story leaves a deeper impression when it is impossible to tell which side the author is on."
- Leo Tolstoy
I find myself drawing towards art and mediums that reflect what I feel to be crafting the truth of oneself in the real world. To be able to be introspective by being outward looking through my screenwriting, poems, and simple notes; is a freeing yet grounded feeling of my own being.
The meaning of life is unanswerable. As each person carves their own meaning throughout their life. However, creating new life within your mind, and being able to share the imaginative creation born from within yourself to others, is a unique form of expression that, when you really think about it, is basically magic.
For example: A red rabbit riding a ridiculously giant green goblin.
or perhaps a more famous one: You're now manually breathing.
See? From just writing simple words on a page, I can place images in your head, or make you conscious of your physical being.
My personal philosophical ideas I ruminate over are generally around the areas of stoicism (Seneca, Aurelius, Cicero) as well as other authors; Confucius, Diogenes, Epictetus, and Laozi.
