Negative or Positive Art

[ad_1]

It is the right of every human being to breathe, and live his/her life with freedom of speech and respect for religious preferences. As a member of a society and a Nation, it is the responsibility of every individual to respect one another in all ways possible.

For a free society to live in harmony and peace, respect for all races, respect for all religions with out discrimination, is the path every individual needs to tread to bring about world peace. It is the ground work for creating equilibrium in every free society.

The Power of the Arts

Why do we make our energies do things that may harm other humans? Why

produce acts against humanity through negative art and create violence in our World?

Art is so powerful and we are using it not to promote Peace and Harmony, but to destroy them.

So if we take a more focused look, we can say that art can and does

affect the life of an individual. Why not use art in its good and

positive perspective as it is given to us by God? Why not use Art’s

Positive Power and heal the World?

This is what I believe. Through my music I always try and give this

message of peace. Music has the power to deliver a sense of inner peace

and harmony within our selves and our world. As this sense of inner

peace grows it is reflected in our outer world as well. Peace is our

world will not come until we find peace within ourselves.

I always give this simple example: A knife in the hands of a killer,

kills. A knife in the hands of a surgeon saves a life. It is not the

knife itself that is good or bad, it is its usage. The same applies to

Art. If it is used in a good manner its effects uplift humanity.

So I see Art/Music as a synchronization tool for souls. Let us

synchronize our souls with one another and work to create a peaceful

world for the upcoming generations. A world where individuals of every religion are given respect. Where the arts are not used in a negative manner. Where there are no political, racial or religious borders.

As artists, we have a big responsibility to use our art forms in a

positive powerful way to heal our world and object to any artwork or

music that may cause emotional turmoil or violence in any way to any

individual. Let us all as Artists unite for Peace.
