Those who fear being misunderstood should
not get into the business of creation.
Nor should they who only want to be good.
Absolute truth is a piece of fiction.
What you create no longer belongs to you –
always subject to interpretation.
It is cathartic to create something new
even if it does not serve the purpose
you originally set out to do.
If misunderstanding makes you nervous,
remember, being understood can be worse.
