He said it because when people
When they don't have all the distractions
When they're taken away from them
Or when they never had them
They start to look for something else
Without all the screens
Or sex
Or food
Or buying
Or security
You start to look for something else
And if you have the eyes for it
That's the "talent" he's talking about
You find it
But you have to look
And have the eyes
And remove the distractions
None of us have the strength to remove them ourselves
So you have to be "unlucky"
Luckily unlucky
Really
Really
You have to be bored enough to realize how unhappy you are
And that's all
And then for the first time in your whole life
You might start to concern yourself
With truth
Or at least it's crumbs
It's footprints
It's shadow
It's wake
Maybe never itself
But artistically close
And physically…
Well physically the closest we ever get to truth
Is right here
