what is the current “market correction” that we are experiencing? i contend that it is a wake-up for all those who have been distracted by the pursuit of the tangible in order to facilitate their misguided goal of “keeping up with the jones’”. appearances have become more important than character and our society has been defined by bling. we are judged by how big a battery we can be for the economy rather than how much spiritual wealth we can produce.
now in the time when one’s cd collection is more in line with the value of one’s home, especially if you happen to live in a depressed community, we can understand the value of art. a catharsis can be worth more than the bling one may crave and it may be the difference between life, death and loneliness. art can be the proof that someone understands us and we aren’t alone.
in the absence of the aforementioned bling, one may crave togetherness and art can provide the template. good can come from bad and a society can embrace ideals.
good luck all…..
