A man is his own god. The fountainhead that generates everything, that serves as the higher most principle of every decision and behavior of his, is within his own mind. He would do something only for one sole purpose, which is that he wants it. The reason why he wants is that he can take pleasure in doing it, in the process itself, rather than what benefits the work could bring.
Nevertheless, it is not to say that a man can live in the big world all by himself. There will be business, there will be corporation. But the business will be resting soly on mutual interest. A client will not force his idea onto a designer. Instead, he would have his interest in mind, and happen to see a designers work, which fits his ideal perfectly---they clicked. Then he'll take the designer's work as it is---as a found object.
Does this have to do with the High Line? It is also kept as its original states, with the vegetations sprouting and the train tracks hiding amid them. There are three main elements in the first scenario, the commissioner, the designer, and the work. There analogies here can be drew as the builder of the park, a past technological age and natural imprints, and the park as it was found. Actually the second and third are very much related. It's the second that conceived the third. So, the designer and the commissioner shared an idea, and the work is the substantiation of such an idea and serves as the bridge, as the signal for the commissioner to spot the mind of same kind.
So, implanting the idea in the case of the High Line. It's that the Friends of the High Line believed in some creed that clicked with that of the natural power.
