Role Of Art
History has been recorded by artists as primitive as the cavemen that inhabited the caves of modern day Spain. Everyone of us is an artist to a greater or lesser extent, but this talent remains latent unless one develops it.
Art in any form, though its primary purpose may be ornamental; is a powerful tool to not only record history but bring about social reform.
Ever since the creation of man, torture & killings of his fellow being has always been considered a necessary vice.
They say that history repeats itself, this means that no matter how many prophets that came for our guidance were unable to change the iniquitous among us who have always done as they will.
Then, the question arises that why does god send guidance at all, when those amongst us who are evil will never change & thus artists who are trying to bring about social reform are only wasting their time. But few realise that the purpose of our creation is the sifting of the good from the evil & in order to achieve this particular ideal, it is expected of the conscientious among us to do all we can, even if appears to be a useless exercise such as the efforts of these artists . Some feel that 'to bell the cat' so as to say can easily be left to the authorities or if it must be done then it should be done when one is forced to do it ---that is when you have no choice---when faced with a do or die situation ( no need to bother even when you are witnessing a brutality on someone else). This apathy which is a plague of our society, afflicts all of us to a lesser or greater degree.
