Torturati-l pe artist.

De ziua mea am primit de la Anda cartea "Torturati-l pe artist". Acum vreo 3 zile m-am apuca sa citesc, iar ieri seara am terminat-o. Cartea mi-a placut foarte mult. Este vorba despre un om foarte bogat care infinteaza o scoala pentru a forma niste copii ca artisti. Actiunea se petrece intr-un timp cant tot ce era la Tv si Radio erau mari porcarii si lumea a ajuns sa se prosteasca la maxim. Scopul lor era sa "tortureze" niste copii de la varste fragede timp de cativa ani ca astfel ei sa produca creatii valoroase. In carte este vorba despre un copil pe nume Vincent pe care impresarul sau il tortureaza de-a lungul copilariei si adolscentei. Torturile erau diferite. Harlan (impresarul) ii otraveste cainele cand are 7 ani, ii plateste prietenele sa-l paraseasca si multe alte torturi. Defapt agentia respectiva s ghida dupa ideea ca "Arta se naste din suferinta". Se pare ca aveau dreptate deoarece cu cat Vincent suferea mai mult cu atat creatile erau mai bune.

Cartea se termina destul de ciudat, trist.
Apare de multe ori pe parcursul cartii ideea ca artistul trebuie sa sufere si sa aiba o viata groaznica fara de iubire pentru a lasa in urma creatile sale artistice intregii lumi. Am stat sa ma gandesc daca mie mi-ar place lucrul asta. Adica sa am o viata ingrozitoare, dar sa las in urma multe lucruri valoroase. Pana si Vincent incecarca la un moment dat sa se sinucida din cauza suferintei si tristetii care o avea in el. Personal nu cred ca as fi in stare sa trec prin asemenea greutati. De mai multe ori m-am intrebat daca doar prin suferinta poti sa creezi ceva valoros. Fericirea nu poate da nastere la creatii frumoase? Nu prea cred ca as prefera sa am o viata mizerabila doar pt a contribuii la cultura universala cu niste creatii. Nici Vincent nu a ales asta. A fost torturat fara stirea lui. Si el isi dorea sa fie un copil normal cu prieteni si cu o iubita. Faptul ac-ti doresti sa ai o viata fericita nu poate fi considerat un lucru egoist. Pana la urma nu tot o viata avem?

Uneori cred ca viata e un mare semn de intrebare. De ce? Pentru ca am atatea intrebari si prea putine raspunsuri. Parca pe zi ce trece apar tot mai multe dileme si la fel de multe tentatii on "The Dark Side" care aduc odata cu ele si mai multe intrebari. Nu prea mai are sens sa vorbesc de intrebarile astea.Incerc sa gasesc singura raspunsuri. Incerc sa renunt la tentatii si sa gandesc logic. Ca tot fiind vorba de tentatii. De ce mereu suntem atrasii de lucruri interzise? De ce mereu ne asumam riscul de a calca stramb dupa ideea "prefer sa fac decat sa nu fac si sa regret". Dar nu regreti pe urma ca ai facut un lucru gresit? BA DA! Chiar daca nu pe moment. Desi suntem fiinte rationale nu prea dam dovada de asta. Cand e vorba de tentatii uitam sa gandim. Si aici ma refer la tentatiile care iti ofera o placere de moment. Cred ca oamenii au ajuns obsedati de plaerile astea de moment deoarece considera ca le confera fericire (oare? - again questions). O feriire de moment care are consecinte! Regrete si suferinta de lunga durata? Cel putin asa se intampla in cazul meu. Dar dupa ce ne ardem odata de ce naiba nu ne invatam minte?? De ce inca ne gandim la varianta de a cadea prada tentatiei cand stim ca tot ce avem de "castigat" e suferinta? De ce nu dam cu picioru in ea tentatie la fel de usor cum dam cu picioru la lucrurile bune? Fuking Questions!!

Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage.

Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth.
