Necessity spells the disaster for cultural life. It is only by going beyond the immediate needs that we start truly thriving in culture, truly living. For necessity binds while culture abounds in freedom, and freedom is what sustains the sublimity of self-expression. Necessity provides the conditional rigidity of structured living while the flights of fancy along the uncharted terrain of the sublimated soul lends beauty to the otherwise colourless mundane living. It is here that art, music, poetry play their seminal roles in making life what it is, a panoramic piece painted on the canvas of the soul.
