One’s experience is one’s resource. How does Borges expound his views on this? |
|
Answer» While answering a question about his blindness, Borges says that whatever happens to us in life should be considered a resource, because he believes that all things have been given to us for a purpose and an artist must feel this more intensely. He believes that all that happens to us, including humiliations, misfortunes, and embarrassments are given to us as raw material, as clay, so that we say shape our art. He says that humiliation, misfortune and discord are given to us so that we may transmute them, so that we may make from the miserable circumstance of our life eternal works or works that aspire to be so. |
