Taking the time and effort out of something is exactly what strips it of its beauty

Beauty is not just an “idea” that someone has and needs to get out onto a medium

It is a process and journey that a person undergoes to get said idea onto said medium

That journey often plays out very differently than the person expects. Things change, the art is different from the idea, and the person learns and grows

Our modern society is so obsessed with results, competition, and efficiency that we no longer see the truth: the journey is to be enjoyed, and from enjoying the journey, comes beauty

I encourage you to meditate on why our society is so sick and depressed right now, and extrapolate to how we got here, before assuming this will be a good thing for society
