Saul Bellow's said
What is art but a way of seeing
Yes-
and who are others but how you see them?
and who are others but how you see them?
To see the good*
To hear the melody **
To taste the sweetness ***
To feel the power****
of love
Life becomes art
when people care
about other people
especially those who other people
would rather not see.

Can you see that?
and that's poetiquejustis
I was hungry and you fed me,
I was thirsty and you gave me a drink,
I was homeless and you gave me a room,
I was shivering and you gave me clothes,
I was sick and you stopped to visit,
I was in prison and you came to me.’
I was thirsty and you gave me a drink,
I was homeless and you gave me a room,
I was shivering and you gave me clothes,
I was sick and you stopped to visit,
I was in prison and you came to me.’
“Then they are going to say, ‘Master, what are you talking about?
When did we ever see you hungry and feed you, thirsty and give you a
drink? And when did we ever see you sick or in prison and come to you?’
Then the King will say, ‘I’m telling the solemn truth: Whenever you did
one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me—you
did it to me.’
