While I find a lot of fields fascinating, it's the artistic ones that particularly resonate with me.  Actors. When they embody another character, they have to dig deep within themselves in order to emote. We fall for all the movie magic, truly believing they actually are the part they are playing. Hating the face of an actor who played a ruthless villain is inevitable for most of us.  Painters unleash the creativity party thats going on within on canvas, singers allow their voices to speak their soul and a pianist finds freedom on a zebra coloured board.  What I'm doing right now, writing, is another example.
