Artistic medium

Before I get going on my video game blog, I would like to kick off the start of something new and exciting with a quote I found in the book I'm reading for my English class. I feel it really defines how I feel and how I look at things.

"There is nothing more truly artistic than to love people." -Vincent Van Gogh

I don't remember where I saw that quote before, but to see it again somewhere else really made me think about the meaning. After thinking about it for a night, I realized that Van Gogh is actually right. The way I see it, loving people is something you can't go without doing. Whether it's just people in general or someone specfic, you feel love for someone out there in the great big world. Sometimes it's something you can't describe, sometimes you can describe it. Love is artistic in all of its forms, even if it's indescribable. If you can describe it, great! You'll be expressing yourself and that's what art is. But if you can't, you'll have to find a way to do so and that will create art on its own.
