Ashish Kothari argues that everyone is an artist because we create worlds with every word we speak. Each conversation either builds toward flourishing or suffering, and we choose which one through how we communicate.
I realized that every individual is an artist. And why are they an artist? Because what does an artist do? Artist creates things. Yes. Right? If you don't create, you're not an artist. It might be something you create— a poem, a drawing, a sculpture. We say that's an artist. Every one of us, through the words we use every minute, create new possibilities in the world. We are creating worlds through our acts of speaking every moment. And so if creation is the definition of an artist, we all are artists because we are creating worlds, and we can choose to create worlds of flourishing, or we can choose to create worlds of suffering.
