Both of them are an indispensable power for our total change. It is very important that we have a suitable way to express ourselves or communicate our thoughts or feelings to a person. It is also important that we take an objective view of ourselves in the process and result of our expressions, because it is necessary in daily life to look back on what we have done and to keep our mental balance. In this sense, art is not for just some talented person, but for all of us, living.
