Art, Living, Art of Living
It's often said of artistic works that they "take risks" or of the creative process that it requires getting "out of the comfort zone." There are also people (less likely to be the high-critic type) who seek out works that entertain and comfort them without challenging too much.
Likewise, there's a broad range of taste out here regarding how much risk is appropriate in one's life. Of course, on THIS stage a wrong note/flubbed line/misstep could lead to limitless bad consequences (and not only for the person making the choices.)
Of course, a lot of great art concerns itself with depicting people's lives, too. Some people videoblog practically everything they do, now. Others have paparazzi to do it for them. And the basic urge to live life in a way that inspires or informs or transforms others is an urge much older than those phenomena.
This is left very open to try to elicit musings and heartfelt comments.
