!Luck, you seriously never saw/heard some visual art/music/whatever that made you marvel at how goddamn amazing humans can be? This coming from an emigre of such a culturally rich nation like Russia truly surprises me.

I fucking love beauty. I love some types of music. And it is amazing everything that we/humans are capable of. 100 mile plus runners come to mind. But, given the choice to feed my stomach or my soul. I wold rather eat today to fight another day, then to starve and make something glorious.

A little off topic, but would there be great art without pain? How much poverty is written due to pain, hunger, starvation and fucking humiliation. The stuff that truly reaches down and touches your heart was written by some of the most miserable people. I wonder and suspect they wouldn't of written it if they were happy.

Would I be sad if it was never written? Yes. But, would I ever for moment think to sacrifice my ability to eat or my parent's or my friends for art? Hell no. Maybe you will call me a hypocrite, I am not sure. I want a lot of this world, but I make choices about what I can get and what sacrifices I am willing to make.

You know they say that some art is priceless? But when you are cold you will burn that shit to stay warm, because life is worth living, but that is my opinion. If you won't burn it today, then I will pick it up from your dead body and burn it tomorrow if it means I can live another day.

We are all lucky that most of us don't have to make these types of choices everyday.
