Doing sincere work—whether in science or art—is one thing; sharing it with the world is another, and poor delivery can undermine even the best efforts. In science, the proper spirit is one of openness: “Here’s what I found—see for yourself,” rather than “This is how the world works—take it or leave it.” True science invites inquiry, not blind belief. Similarly, in art, the most powerful works simply tell stories—embedding themes and moral insights subtly, so the audience may discover them on their own. It does not showcase for the sake of showcasing. Whether revealing truth or evoking universal feeling, the highest integrity lies in respecting the audience’s freedom to engage and interpret.
Science says: “Here's what I saw. Feel free to see for yourself.”
Art says: “Here's what I felt. Feel free to feel for yourself.”
