What if: Everyone was Thrilled by everything?

Mr. Allen always talks about being thrilled by things. Most people pass by paintings and literature as of having no importance- What if everyone stopped and took the time to actually appreciate the creativity people let out into this world?
If everyone took the time out to look at art, then our world would be surrounded by it, every corner would be covered in some kind of art. Mr. Allen talked about taking out the time to look at different types of art. This way even someone who isn't a creative mind can find something for them selves. Every person is able to find an art that applies to them. Some prefer abstract paintings while others prefer poems.
People who reach a mid life crisis at thirty with their house, family, and piles of money get bored and start to go insane trying to find something to fill their life with. If they turned to creativity and spent their time finding the right art for them- they could find something that thrills them and fill their life with that.

For me, I found art much earlier than 30, I focus on realistic portraiture and have been finding more and more artists that thrill me. Every artist I find brings something different to the table. The same portraits drawn by different artists are all very different and thrilling. I only wish others could find some type of art that thrills them, as I did.

I think that in a perfect society, each person would have their own preferred form of art. There would be no white walls and empty rooms. Every person would fill their place of living with what they like. Literature would be much more popular and paintings would be bought and sold all over.
I can only hope for something like this to happen soon, but the only way this can happen is if people finally open up their minds to new things. I hope that Humanities this year, will do that for the 2 or so classes of students that take part in it.
