Example text

In art and literature, people are only deeply influenced by ideas which are expressed through the flow of life. Life is complex and varied. Writers should choose from its varied features only those aspects which meet the requirements of their seeds; they must not include anything which has no connection with them. If aspects of life which have no bearing on the seeds are included, these will obscure the ideas which should be expressed in the works, and consequently prevent the writers' artistic intentions from being interpreted correctly.
