The forces we face

(My wife) divorced me after 24 years trying on my part "to make it" in the art world. I consumed for: plaster, liquid rubber, wax, bronze, travel, shipping, crating, polishing, making gifts of polished busts at $2000 a year... times 24 = $48,000!!! What a vacation, what a nice curtain, what a nice evening, what a nice weekend with the three boys!!!

We all want to be on top. A Picasso painting = $14 million = FARCE. Yes, one gladiator (Picasso) is paid to kill any other rebel who feels he/she has something worthwhile to offer in any form.

--------------The system is = TO SAP YOU--------------

NOW! WHAT TO DO?

Two forces we face:
1. destruction (make insensitive)
2. complacency = conform = obey (social, political, educational, art gallery techniques, radio, tv, magazines, wastemakers, travel agencies, entertainment) KILL TIME, drug in any form to avoid facing boredom.

TO FIGHT IT IS TO INCREASE IT.

Instead, and how exalting, uplifting and strengthening:

THE INTELLIGENT PERSON IS ALREADY STEPPING OUT OF THE RAT RACE.

For instance, a neighbor who goes to work as everyone else does- but does not spend the money as everyone else does... (too much to start telling the power this person has over his/her own destiny)
