I Learned the Art of Painting

In my early years I had a job helping this guy paint, which involved mainly painting rental apartments. It was a good job and the gentlemen took a great deal of time explaining the fine art of painting. Of course back then in the dark ages we still used oil base paint. Using this type of paint required more skill, then the latex stuff of today.

Depression Moves in When Learning Slows Down

Depression is in part the result of not utilizing the human mind to its higher level of participation. The mind is a living entity and because of that needs active involvement in the human experience. To do other wise is to run the risk that it will slowly down grade itself and the results will not be of value to the person living in the brain.
