It is not at all uncommon to be deceived, either by
ourselves or others, and to perceive significances where there are none, to misattribute
causes or build them up to such a degree that they lose all connection with their
source. This is rarely a problem in art since, as a domain, art is peculiarly
unpedantic. Art makes no claims to absolute truth - barely to truth at all. However, in other walks of
life – politics, religion, psychoanalysis, education, philosophy, etc – this tendency towards truth - or rather the rigid adoption of assumed truth - can be, and often is, a source of great misery and conflict.
