Keep It To Yourself

Rediscovered Post Secret today.

I'm torn. I'm not sure whether or not to call it art. I think it is. But I don't think people would agree with me. At one point ,I had this weird thought. Literally just pasting this in here:


Art is supposedly the expression of emotion, of existence, and of thought. However, many thoughts are never realized. Infinite thoughts, really. There are infinite thoughts that occur or will occur, that never have had or will have anything written or made about them. My thought is, even though there’s no audience, a defining feature of art, there may still be art there.

A tangent to Schrödinger’s argument would claim that these undiscovered or un-pursued thoughts both are and aren’t art simultaneously. But then there’s the concept of whether all thoughts deserve to be known as art. Does basic existence constitute art? I think, in a sense, it does, but if unrealized, can you still claim it as art?

Thoughts don’t exist unless we acknowledge them, but we can also choose which thoughts to think. Minds can wander to any of several infinities of thought, and be on several thoughts until a fraction of a second before they’re thought of. Do the infinity other non-thought thoughts previously or to be thunk still count as thoughts?


Sorry about the excessive length, there. But yeah. I think every thought can sort of be counted as art. Even the non-pursued ones. Hypothetical art, sure, but still art. If anyone reads this yet, thoughts?
