This evening, it's good having the reminder that as an artist, as a friend - that I don't need to be professional or even especially good to contribute something to the world, to help make peoples' days just a little brighter. And doing so is more meaningful than insurers, landlords, police, politicians and most clergy, whom our society tells me are so much more important and vital than I am, but who contribute little other than parasitism and harm.
@Leucrotta That’s a good way to think about things. I wish it were easier to remember when the whole world seems to be focused only on how much money a person can produce that individuals have importance and meaning beyond that.
