George Orwell: 1984
Reader Submission: Title and Redesign by Alex Watson.
Learning Your Groove
Not everything you create will start perfectly, or look like you want it to… but if you stick with it long enough, it will!!! You can not learn your groove until you start and truly engage in the creative process. You can’t do that until you get past the weird, awkward, hit or miss early stages of growth. Avoid the temptation to quit… or to not start!… because its not perfect. Just keep going. Learn your groove and, when you do, you will be unshakeable.
If you have, let us say, a theory about man, and if you can only prove it by talking about Plato and George Washington, your theory may be quite a frivolous thing. But if you can prove it by talking about the butler or the postman, then it is serious, because it is universal. So far from it being irreverent to use silly metaphors on serious questions, it is one’s duty to use silly metaphors on serious questions. It is the test of one’s seriousness. It is the test of a responsible religion or theory whether it can take examples of pots and pans and boots and butter-tubs. It is a test of a good philosophy whether you can defend it grotesquely. It is the test of a good religion whether you can joke about it.
