What makes an artist?

I saw on the news that Belgium's credit rating dropped today, following the trend set by Greece, Italy, and Spain.  Of course, what jumped off the cliff first was actually across the Atlantic...the USA.  The European countries are only imitators.

The swan who thought herself ugly was trying to imitate the ducks.  She only became beautiful when she stopped thinking she was a duck.

An artist who can reproduce perfect copies of any Michelangelo painting is not an artist but an imitator.

We are all artists.  Our artistry depends on the way we live our the lives.  We have a choice to make that life a masterpiece or a piece of forgery.  Unless you live your life, you are only an imitator.
