We live in a humiliated and humiliating world. I’d learn some ago that the only way around it was to deal with the humiliation by growing humility. The other way was to become relentlessly uncompromising and non-conforming in my life and Art. Because a humiliated world knows very little about what’s true or about truth. It’s up to the personal accountability of the truth-seeker to establish the truth. And to grow integrity.
