Self-Forgiveness and the Necessity of Hope in a Fragile World

Art as Living Amends: Nick Cave on Creativity as an Instrument of Self-Forgiveness and the Necessity of Hope in a Fragile World

In praise of “the necessary and urgent need to love life and one another, despite the casual cruelty of the world.”

by Maria Popova

The world reveals itself through our engagement with it — a truth as true in the “It for Bit” sense of physics as it in the Dzogchen sense of Tibetan Buddhism.

It is the fundamental truth of our human experience.

All cynicism is a denial of it.

All hope is a tribute to it.

This awareness pulsates throughout Faith, Hope and Carnage (public library) — Nick Cave’s yearlong conversation with journalist turned friend Seán O’Hagan. Half a century after the great humanistic philosopher and psychologist Erich Fromm made his countercultural case for why self-love is the foundation of a sane society, he turns to art as the supreme instrument of self-forgiveness:

Art does have the ability to save us, in so many different ways. It can act as a point of salvation, because it has the potential to put beauty back into the world. And that in itself is a way of making amends, of reconciling us with the world. Art has the power to redress the balance of things, of our wrongs, of our sins… By “sins,” I mean those acts that are an offence to God or, if you would prefer, the “good in us” — that live within us, and that if we pay them no heed, harden and become part of our character. They are forms of suffering that can weigh us down terribly and separate us from the world. I have found that the goodness of the work can go some way towards mitigating them.

What emerges is the sense that the end of suffering begins with self-forgiveness, which in some elemental sense is the aim and end of all art:

Anyone who says they don’t have any regrets is simply living an unconsidered life. Not only that, but by doing so they are denying themselves the obvious benefits of self-forgiveness. Though, of course, the hardest thing of all is to forgive oneself… One sure path to self-forgiveness is to arrive at a place where you can see that your day-to-day actions are making the world a measurably better place, rather than a worse place — that is pretty simple stuff, available to all — and to arrive at this place with a certain amount of humility.

You need to live life to the fullest. No matter how shallow and dull things might get, this life is worth living. I guarantee it. And I'm not being either ironic or paradoxical. It's just that, for me, what's worthwhile in life has become a burden, something I can't shoulder anymore. Maybe I'm just not cut out for it. So, like a dying cat, I've crawled into a quiet, dark place, silently waiting for my time to come. It's not so bad. But you're different. You should be able to handle what life sends your way. You need to use the thread of logic, as best as you can, to skillfully sew onto yourself everything that's worth living for. #liveyourbestlife #lifequotes #dothebestyoucan #attitudeofgratitude #grateful #therose #actor #fragileworld #humandesign #perfectlyimperfect #menswork #womensrights #righttochoose #mensupportingwomen #whathappenedhere #menslifecoach #personaltrainer #fitness #motivation #riseup #tolerance #forgive #worktogether (at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdHcyazty31/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"I can't decide", he said, "whether you are wild wrapped in fragile or fragile wrapped in wild." "Well, that depends on the day", I replied with a smile… #fragilemasculinity #fragileworld #fragility #wildlife #wilderness #wildselflove #wildfragility (at Catalina Foothills, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbVEZduLq5HMNscCQc7-6fb-eR-oAWwCZAFTaw0/?utm_medium=tumblr

‘Embedded’ another toilet paper installation made in response to the architectural columns and marble staircase at Battersea Art Centre. The paper was embedded into moulds and transformed into travertine marble like columns that alluded to permanence and decay belying their fragility and transience. Referred to as a feminist critique of Richard Serra’s work this series attracted much media attention at the time. Thanks to @geraldinecollinge #suehubbard for writing about it in TimeOut and a stranger for the Richard Serra reference @susanstockwell #batterseaartscentre @geraldinecollinge @sue_writer #kimberlyclark #toiletpaper #toilettissue #loorolls #forests #saveourplanet #saveourforests🌲🌳 #bidetsarebest #politicalart #travertinemarble #fragileworld (at Battersea Arts Centre - BAC)

I am too in love with the lyrics of this song. I know Alberto didn’t write them, but paired with his voice and the beat of the music. I LOVE IT!
