culture and killing

culture borne out of life.. eventually kills life. --Andre Gide

much like art in the museum, dead and not moving.
static.

amazing.

how many artists have "killed" artistic evolution to please the producer
have you "killed" a friend to get that promotion
"killed" a mentor to take over an empire
"killed" a student over recognition
"killed" to preserve
to satisfy
own
it

kill desire for stagnancy. be unmoved and die eventually.
