Evolution

Artistic expression represents a fundamental human capacity—one that exists within virtually everyone, regardless of formal training or recognition. While our educational systems often position art as supplementary rather than central to development, the creative impulse appears deeply woven into our nature. Though I engage with creative practices regularly, I maintain a humble perspective about my own artistic abilities, viewing myself as an enthusiastic participant rather than a polished expert.

We’re taught from an early age that hard work leads to rewards and success. This wisdom has merit, but what if I told you that laziness—yes, laziness—might be equally virtuous? When most of us think about laziness, we picture someone sprawled on the couch binge-watching Netflix, lost in video games, or perhaps hurkle-durkling in bed well past a reasonable hour. We’ve been conditioned to view laziness as productivity’s enemy—the antithesis of work, responsibilities, and self-improvement.
