"There is a myth among amateurs, optimists and fools that beyond a certain level of achievement , famous (and talented) artists retire to some kind of Elysium where criticism no longer wounds and work materializes without their effort."

You know this question, many of you do... it is quite common in these parts. Call it odd, but have you noticed that furries can't really answer that in a straight manner. To think of it in the philosophical terms , what would furry be?
It seem that all we do is skirt about the question for some time. I know what I define it as, which is to say that is it the appreciation of the anthropomorphic form of animals. But that is not the answer to the philosophical terms of what 'furry' is... but then today as I was till some food for people (with the bulk and skull theme playing in my brain), I think that I managed to answer that question for myself. What is furry then... rather simple, Furry has little to do with the aspects of furry at all. If you try to define furry based on that, you'll fine that the answer is still void of meaning. It can't really be answered in the terms of imagery since the image itself must have to defined something to make an image of. But funny enough, writing has MANY examples of furry... as much as we do love the imagery, it is writing where you fined the philosophical terms of what furry are.
You see to me, the answer is, humanity and human emotions. Since in writing, a furry would be a direct interpretation of humanity itself, and all of humanities faults. It is nothing more that the very thing that many furries in the community seem to distance themselves from, being human. Which is ironic, no? Those that call themselves furries, shun the terms of what they are. Human, in all it's flaws... with issues and problems, believes and values, etc.
Call this a eureka moment, flame if you must... call me a lier, that my facts are baseless and without merit. But indeed, isn't that being... well... human?
This has been my two cent.... Discuss among yourself and here.
BZZZZZZZZZZZZZT! I am the Robo-Ky!
