Feel First, Think Later: The Fable of the Two Artists

Feel First, Think Later: The Fable of the Two Artists

In a vibrant town, there lived two artists, Maya and Raj. Maya was a master planner, meticulously designing each piece, analyzing colors, and sketching every detail before touching her canvas. Raj, however, painted with his heart, letting his emotions guide his brush.

One day, both artists were invited to paint a mural in the town square. Maya spent weeks planning, drafting, and perfecting her design. Raj, feeling the excitement and energy of the townspeople, immediately began painting, capturing their emotions and stories.

As people watched Raj paint, they felt connected to his work. They saw their own joys and sorrows reflected in his strokes. Maya’s mural, though technically perfect, seemed distant and disconnected.

When the murals were unveiled, the townspeople flocked to Raj’s painting, drawn by the emotions it evoked. Maya’s mural, despite its perfection, did not resonate as deeply.

Raj explained to Maya, "Feelings are now. They capture the essence of the moment and connect us to others. Thinking can happen anytime, but it’s the emotions that make our work truly alive."

 Moral

Feelings are immediate and powerful, creating connections and resonating with others in ways that thinking alone cannot. Embracing emotions in the present can lead to deeper and more meaningful expressions.
