this is simply a signe of illusion and an attempt to associate ourselves to something we don’t have and we are not. there is nothing sweeter than being original.true artist always refelects society both pain and pleasure.their presentation refelects neither.

One more painful reminder of our servile imitation! It is always done in the name of nice taste,sophistication and modernization.
Our artists are copy cats.Our politicians are copy cats.Our learned men and women are copy cats.
No wonder if we remain perennially underdeveloped because we don’t find anything in ourselves that exalts us in our own eyes.We always seek our self-esteem and glory by being damn borrowers and cheap imitators!
It is maddening to see that the creative,energetic and innovative years of particularly our youth which could have otherwise been harnessed to develop ourselves in very many important ways are being frivolously squandered on these and other consumerist culture.
To hell with this ersatz!
