Great post and as a Fine Arts major I think more people should take it to heart.

elheffe – Actually, at some level, everything must be approached at the “minuscule universe”, as you say – it’s the only place we can look. And I think there are enough people who do what they do, be it cleaning toilets, shuffling paper or making movies, who do it in the spirit of service to mankind that we’ll ultimately be okay. Just my optimistic viewpoint, I guess, but there you have it.

I don’t think there is a right or wrong answer. But what I do think is that, and not to be condescending, the general population cares not about the greater good of mankind, but rather their own greater good, which has many definitions.

Few people I meet think about the world as a whole and how we are all connected, but instead see little outside of their own miniscule universe.

Generally speaking I see this as a bad thing, but then again, were it that we all thought at a higher level, who would do those things of a lower level that are required for our existence?

Did anyone ever say you look like Mr. French on Family Affair?
