Whenever love and creativity link up, however, a third element is always introduced that often causes discomfort. That element is change. At some point in the marriage, though, they may decide it is time to have children. The union of their love produces offspring. And with that child, great change comes into the family unit.
All creative acts give birth to change of some type, and change requires response to new realities.
Change will be viewed by most people as either a threat or an opportunity. That is because the new realities brought about by change often challenge our comfort zones and literally forces us to deal with a new set of circumstances. When it comes to the creative arts, therefore, it is probably the compelling nature of the changes that creative arts cause, which produces discomfort. True artists have the somewhat irritating compulsion to challenge the status quo. They often want to see change take place.
