"What do we live for if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?"
English novelist
1819 - 1880
When it comes time to knock on those pearly gates and you look back across your life, what are you going to remember? For most of us, it will be the people we've known and had some relationship with. Will you have left this world a better place? Will you have left the lives of those you love better? Creative people, whether writers, painters or actors, often are known for their art, not their relationships. I recently was reminded of this by the Jackson Pollock movie. In his relationships with people, Pollock was a disaster. I believe that an artist can be both creative and emotionally stable, but it takes working on relationships as much as we work on perfecting our art.
