"If he doesn't play ball" , by Erik Pevernagie, (100 x 80 cm) Oil on canvas xx
Some people feel more comfortable in the “margin” of society. It may give them more breathing space and shore up their identity. It embodies a gateway to self-determination and confers a sense of sovereignty, which allows them less apprehension and thoughtful reflection. On the other hand, if people refuse to play ball, they may be reproved as marginal and rejected as social outcasts. While times are changing lightning-fast, new rules exact inexorable adjustments, in line with our encounters, consistent with our experiences, and in step with our needs. However, if they appear incompatible with our inner self, they may raise war in our minds and compel us to take to the hills. We value our minds and esteem our brainpower. But let us respect our feet as well. They might be down-to-earth, but they allow us to go forward and steam ahead. On top of that, they can kick out anyone who is disrespectful and mind-numbing. We agree to accept specific rules when we play ball, limiting our freedom. We must recognize that our liberty will only be possible if it can coexist with the freedom of the community where we are living. Let us stop wracking our brains with vain and futile stories but keep it loose and goosey without missing a beat on our life in our pursuit of authenticity.
