It is a strand of hair, a nail, the blue of a vein, the bewilderment of a gaze—everything originates from distant lands, from the remote places where religion and philosophy were born, not from the places we can dominate, command, or act whimsically in. As the renowned American Jewish philosopher and theologian Heschel once said, "To be human includes the capacity for appreciation and the capacity to express appreciation. For thousands of years, authentic existence has encompassed both action and appreciation, both utilization and praise, both labor and worship." "People of our time are losing the capacity for appreciation." "Because of the loss of appreciation, modern people are forced to seek pleasure." Learning to appreciate and praise means simultaneously learning to resist and rebel, and also halting decline and crime—this is the role of art, the creation of nature, the eternal goodness that resonates throughout the universe.
