Imagine a present is put under the Christmas tree on December 1st.
The present is wrapped, and you have no idea what is inside it. Imagine you convince yourself that whatever is in the present could be game changing, life altering, thus you want to know what is inside of it.
One might decide that they are not supposed to open the present.
One might remember that packages, with unknowns cannot always be trusted.
One might take the present to the x-ray machine at the airport and technically “not open” it.
Is the person that opens the present really different than the person that scans the present using an x-ray machine? The more legalistic approach always the better approach?
Imagine there is packaged art that an artist worked on at a camp retreat with no cameras around, and placed all the art into a package and wrapped it with a message that said do not open until a certain date. This art could be political art, art that could inspire and change the world in ways nobody could fully appreciate. Would society wait to open the art? Would governments, governments that rely on political stability for throughput, for protection through wars wait to open the art?
If a government opens the art, can it really claim to be ideal oppression reduced, ideal support for all parties, desire to amplify better support for all? If it opens the art, is it really teaching people to trust, to have faith in support and delays? If the government opens the art can it claim to be ideal respect for the artist, those that rely upon the artist’s support? God will be ideal justice, and support for the artist or a God that is not all World Wars out might not always protect the artist in ideal ways? Oppression is in by design and it gets painted min.
Golden Rule for artists, Churches always amplify messages about reducing Artistic Oppression, protecting Freedom of Speech, or generally have other things on the agenda at Sunday sermons? What might be more Golden Rule for society might not always be sufficient protection and support for artists.
Add in on top of that there are people that Profit in society over others. People win and lose, corporations achieve victories while others go bankrupt might not always be adequate Golden Rule support for artists. God will protect profit and victories is what one would want does not equate to that always feels like that is the way God rolls things.
It is important to know what the Church and the Government will protect and what it will not. It factors into risk mitigation, and consideration around it, data around it, knowns and unknowns that factor into comprehension amplify far less than ideally.
Delays to publishing might not always be wisdom in a world full of cameras and supercomputers.
