Is it that hard to be Straight if you are an artist ?

  

    I believe the answer is a BIG yes !! 

  but before that just let me explain why is this true ..

   

   An artist is a person engaged in one or more of any of a broad spectrum of activities related to creating art, practicing the arts and/or demonstrating an art.

  Someone who has been involved into arts long time ago cannot be normal in his own life. 

Art is another language , life  , and religion. 

An artist can be a writer , actor , sculptor , singer , photographer , filmmaker , painter or other forms of arts. 

people like these do live in illusion and use their imagination 25 hours a day. We buy their forms of arts 

and forgot that each piece has a story of its own and each piece means time , brain and life consuming. 

 How on earth do we criticize and accuse them for being atheists ? homos ? weirdos ? playboys ? playgirls ? alcoholics ? 

  These professions are not easy to master !! you cannot compare someone who works in film industry with someone who answers phone calls for customer services !! 

   I wouldn't be expecting the second person to go to a gay club or a stripper bar to have fun !! or to take drugs or lock himself up for long hours or to have a strange taste of style ..etc..

because the one who answers the phone hasn't squeeze his full imagination ( till it hurts )in his day and he can go to bed and sleep soundly at night.

but what about the other one ? 

 can he sleep at night ? and if he can ? will he or she be in artistic mood in the morning ? Is it that easy to wake up in the morn and go to dance ballet ? 

  if an artist acts and thinks and lives like a lawyer or a Dr ! what is the difference then between two unlike professions ? a serious job and a dreamy job ? 

Is it the txtbook or the piece of certificate each one holds ? 

 Are these the things that really matter ? Do we choose to be artists or is art something genetic ? 

and if so , then why the hell many people question the personality of an Artist ? 

Do we really need certain features to do such a job ? and if we have these creative special features , 

 do they make a person different than his siblings , his cousins , his classmates and his entire world ? 

     Art , despite its awesomeness , has its flaws.
