A piece of writing to my little niece in Bhutan


Dear, that's interesting. Thanks for writing. I am sure your channel will grow, if you can stick to it, with some fillips of creativity added to its contents. I can understand about people not knowing about Bhutan. Here, I faced the same case once, when I went to send some money to you guys from our local post office. But I think if one is educated so far, he or she knows about Bhutan. There are those here who say Bhutan is the cleanest and happiest country in the world. I mean local ones, namely French people. But the words like 'carbon free', 'the happiest country in the world' are too much for me. Better say 'more carbon free', 'the more or less self-contained country'. Well, you can tell them to search about it on internet first. I think they do so, like googling, which is the norm now. But google or Wikipedia aren't everything but conducive so far. Well, there can be more on YouTube about Bhutan, like travel vlogs or any done by foreigners or Bhutanese. I think you don't have to do it, for you can't do a travel vlog for the time being. I think all you have to do is to portray your own personal events or doings in a creative way and Bhutan and its people and cultural or customary things depicted besides. You have to know how small details, like of what you do, do matter, if you are interested in art or artistic values. You don't have to try to grab a big picture but to be productive with your small, personal things and doings, to be fecund and communicative that way. That's called art. Grabbing something big that you can't grasp is called sham, pretense. Just as a suggestion dear. In essence, you have to be aware of your own origin, of your cultural values, art, philosophy, fields of studies..., of your quadrivium, trivium. You should have the gut to accept what is factual, to be able to connect to the core of your being and communicate it in an artistic way so far.
