Better Living Through Introspection

So I’m reading an interview

with one of the co-creators of Myst (forever one of my all-time faves, along with its sequel Riven, and hopefully the new Myst III which I’ve purchased but haven’t installed yet…dumbass) in which he says something so fundamentally sound it had a simple sort of click to it, as if, despite the fact that it’s escaped me all these years, I’ve known it and have been waiting for someone to remind me:

When people get really good at their craft — whether they’re cabinetmakers or musicians — they begin to imbue what they do with a sense of truth. That’s when they become artists.

Something to think about, yes?
