Chapter 1 of the Accidental Masterpiece: My Thoughts

I admired the Chapter overall for what it tells you about the world around us as a whole. It dawns on me that some people think that art is just a simple thing that could be a hobby for a person that they could do for hours on end, but I find it to be something more than that. Art is a passion. A way of life that can't be ignored and that is all around us everyday of our lives. We seem to run away from it further and further, but it will eventually catch up on us in the end. Some people embrace it. Other tend to ignore it. Many take it into a different view. I take it into the view that it has a certain way of sculpting people into who they are. I can learn a lot from this one quote in the chapter. It says," The beautiful is a promise of happiness." It means to me that any kind of beauty that you would see in the world comes from you being happy with who you are and where you come from. You need to be happy with your life in order to live with yourself everyday. After all, you have only one face to live with for the rest of your life by staring at it in the mirror.
