The root of the problem is that there is a false god that is being worshiped that some call the philosophy of art for art’s sake, and in the name of their work or art this god permits them all kinds of behaviors that amount to lives lived in arrogant self absorption that is dressed up as deep and meaningful. This takes a great toll on the society that admires these people and encourages youth to join them and is quite sad, especially Jewish youth that are talented and soulful and imagine they are joining some great, lofty community. Some of you may think I’m being ridiculous about that what with the true shallowness of these people constantly exposed in all the tabloid magazines, but the irony is they don’t seem to make the connection at all. Ask an average parent of college age kids how they would feel if their son or daughter wanted to study the arts with a goal to being an artist, actor, filmmaker,etc. see if they are concerned(other than about economic issues)?
