The Random Window

W hen students are asked by adults about what they plan to study after finishing high school, they can sometimes receive looks of disappointment (or even disapproval) if their answer is: "I want to study a degree related to one of the arts!" These adults maybe consider that, by going for a career that involves being in touch with the  application of human creative skill and imagination  (for example, visual arts like painting, or literary and performing arts) you can be less intelligent than a Physics student, or that you are making a bad use of your potential.  In our society, it is more valued to be useful at improving technology and/or our economy by being an entrepreneur than to communicate with people through beauty - and this is because only a few people believe that this last job is profitable.

After thinking for some time, and as there were many things that I would like to write about in here and I was having some trouble at deciding for a theme, I finally came up with an idea: why not be random?        It's my own website, right? I consider it a little window where others can look at my inner self, an opportunity to express my thoughts, anecdotes, hobbies, recipes and much more.      I hope you enjoy my varied content, and please feel free to share your opinions in the comments! 💖
