Here is where you will find posts related to my interests including philosophical ideas, book thoughts, nature and science stuff, and other things. So, be sure to come back every now and again and greet my Courier Gryphon, as he may have something new for you to read.

Think about it. Why would art be subjective? Why should it be? Saying that "art is subjective" makes about as much sense as saying "math is subjective."

No matter how broken you are, you can still be used by the Higher Power to accomplish something great. No matter how shattered you think you are, or your life is, you can still be wielded by the One who forged you. Just because you break that does not make you automatically useless. You can still deal damage to the enemy.
