Nature, Accident and Art
I'm taking a course online from Hillsdale College. In his lecture Larry Arnn says that a branch rotting and falling from a tree is Nature. If , in falling, that branch hits someone in the head, that is Accident. If, however, we pick up that branch and hit someone in the head, that is Art, because it is intentional.
It occurred to me, therefore, that the aim of our wiring should be to hit someone in the head, or the heart, or better yet, both.
