“Life is painful. It has thorns, like the stem of a rose. Culture and art are the roses that bloom on the stem. The flower is yourself, your humanity. Art is the liberation of the humanity inside yourself.” - Daisaku Ikeda

Decryption of quote

Life is painful. It's a truth we all come to realize at some point in our journey through this world. Just like the stem of a rose, it can be filled with thorns that prick and wound us along the way.

But amidst the pain and struggles of life, there is beauty to be found. Culture and art are like the roses that bloom on the stem, bringing color and fragrance to our existence. They are the things that make life worth living, that give us hope and inspiration.

When we immerse ourselves in art and culture, we are allowing ourselves to bloom like a flower. We are tapping into our own humanity, our deepest emotions and desires. It is through art that we can truly express ourselves, our joys and sorrows, our fears and dreams.

Art is the liberation of the humanity inside ourselves. It is a way for us to break free from the constraints of everyday life, to transcend our limitations and soar to new heights. Through art, we can connect with others on a deeper level, sharing our innermost thoughts and feelings.

Art has the power to heal, to inspire, to transform. It allows us to see the world in a different light, to appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. It reminds us of our own humanity, of the things that make us truly alive.

So let us embrace art and culture in all its forms. Let us allow ourselves to be moved and inspired by the beauty that it brings into our lives. Let us remember that we are all like flowers, blooming and growing in our own unique way.

And in doing so, we can truly liberate the humanity inside ourselves. We can break free from the thorns of life and bask in the beauty of the roses that bloom on the stem. We can find solace and joy in the power of art to uplift and inspire us.
