Getting away from politics...

[Oh_hunnihunni]

One of the things I learned being a creative, was that if you make something good, some one less accomplished will steal it. The best way to deal with that kind of angst is to realise you made something worth stealing, so let it go without trying to own it. Granted, when artistic creativity becomes wealth creation then it gets complicated, but the fact remains, if we stopped trying to own beautiful things, maybe more of us would get the pleasure of both making and living with them.

And we'd all be better off.
