INCOMING PHILOSOPHICAL OUTBURST
I don't think there is a god in the classical sense, however what is, is a system of nature, the laws of creation in which we all live and grow. It is a system that is so perfect in its imperfection that it is self-regulating its own development and the development of every instance it holds, be it matter, living beings, planets. And this development only occurs if there is some suffering involved, especially in the first few stages of aquiring wisdom which eventually leads to spiritual enlightment. It is indeed a benevolent system if we all understand this, and that sometimes in order to develop thoroughly and perfectly a certain chain of so

FilmmakerLouie Schwartzberg
Louie Schwartzberg has made it his life’s mission to use his cinematic artistry to raise the alarm for public awareness of the dire situation we are facing in the possible collapse of our taken-for-granted natural resources. The “colony collapse disorder” currently decimating our honeybees was the prompt for Louie’s new movie, Wings of Life, which at it's essence, is a love story that feeds the earth.
Disney is releasing the film on multiple formats and portals everywhere this week. The film is a cinematic wonder of beautiful cam

I have never found a companion who was so companionable as solitude.
Henry David Thoreau
By .techgnotic (https://www.deviantart.com/techgnotic) techgnotic (https://www.deviantart.com/techgnotic)
I I always thought of Thoreau’s comment as simply a word game — clever but ultimately false at its core. A Valentines Day without a Valentine means being alone and alone means being unhappy. It’s taken many years to finally understand the truth in Thoreau’s words. We are never so alone as when in the company of loving family and friends, our Valentine companion held tight in our arms – but knowing we are lost, unfulfilled in our dreams and visions, and untrusti

The recently announced changes to the core mythos of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the backlash from fans over the ending to Mass Effect 3 have ignited an incredible discussion about the rapidly evolving “collaborative” relationship between producers and consumers of videogames, movies, and similar “products.” Now it’s exploded beyond the secure borders of top news publications, gaming and entertainment websites. Looks like this long-bubbling

It’s easy to think of art in terms of what is instantly pleasing to the eye, artworks which
evoke a feeling of joy and hopefulness and blissful peacefulness or ecstatic exultation.
This is the consideration of art as something that helps propel us forward through life – to out future great
deeds, our career victories, or dreams of coming big events. But there is a peak to every life. At some point all
people, and all places, and even all ideas have to begin the inevitable decline that is the ot

The vibrant digital paintings of alicexz (https://www.deviantart.com/alicexz) are fiery, emotional, and incredibly memorable.
The colors of her creations (mostly portraits of popular TV and Film characters) are unusually vibrant, which is remarkable considering how layered they appear to be. It’s sort of like what manga characters might look like if painted by one of the Dutch Masters. And this artist exhibits just the right amount of quirkiness to leave us wanting to know more: she has a penchant for painting redheads. But, then of course, there’s a lot of red and golden fire burnin
