Gina asked in her blog:
Is it better to repress our emotions for the sake of societal standards, or should we express ourselves freely through the medium of art?
It is a shame that some feel it is inappropriate to express feelings, and that the only way to constructively express them without receiving ridicule is through art. I do believe that art, in whatever medium is your choice, is a great way to let out feelings, and I am not criticizing anyone who feels it is their way of expression. However, I do not believe that it should be the only way to express oneself.
I think that emotions should be expressed freely in whatever medium necessary, whether it be an art form, or a physical display. There is obviously a time and a place for everything, but in the end, no emotion should ever be repressed for the sake of society.
So my question for all of you, then, is why are there so many "rules" and "expectations" of society, and why has art become an escape from society?
