I received many compliments regarding my photographs, writings, website, t-shirts, and the fact that I walk in summer clothes in frigid temperatures.
Is that mean that I do all these things for compliments? Of course, I do not do it for felicitation. Still, the truth is that it is always nice to receive praise. The truth is that not only my beloved Kamilka but my parents, family, and friends are also complimenting me. Sometimes I can receive applause or a smile with recognition, even on the street from strangers.
All people like to receive compliments. I am not an exception. Such moments can remind me that everything I do, I do for others. Still, I do not expect other humans will be giving me applause all the time. I am not Michael Jackson. I merely hope that everything I do will be admired by posterity. It is impossible to receive felicitation from people who do not exist yet. I hope my works (with „Diaries” at the forefront) will stand the test of time.
Moreover, I hope that all my writings and photographs, the posterity will recognize as timeless, classic, and enduring.
I can imagine that humans from every corner of the world will appreciate my works of art. In today’s post, I want to stress that I do not expect and do not wait for applause from anyone. I do not think about it. I do not wait for compliments. All my creative doings can be challenging for ordinary people in perception. Moreover, I would say that most people would rhetorically ask:
For what should I give that guy compliments? For taking photos of old rags?
Somehow I would understand this guy. Only some things must be understandable 100%. For me, the world and the Universe would be dull if I understood everything surrounding me. How happy I am that the world is ambiguous. That’s why I receive felicitation from some people but not from others. I am Okay with it.
