Why do artists, musicians, writers and other creative folk tend to have substance abuse issues.
because they see the world differently than most others do. they can create pictures, images, realms, fantasies in their heads that are grandiose in nature. they use their imaginations to spin worlds of escape. the real world pales by comparison. real people are boring and unpleasant, crude and mundane. so we need something to spice it up a little.
we see the world in hi-definition and surround sound while others view it in simple, pragmatic black and white. we see the world in ultra-holographic images of painstaking detail and clarity while others see simple, banal stick figures. we spin, spawn, make, incarnate and create. we are observers, plot choreographers, storytellers, architects.
