Mind's Eye Re: Why are the arts important?

I meant my own verslimmstuff, of course.  Marx, of course, had religion as 'the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions  ... the opium of the people'.  Work of art, like good god contains its opposite meaning.

I don't dismiss anything from you Gabby, or take it personally.  And while I don't pretend to understand all of it either, or where you are coming from, I can appreciate the long term contribution and effort. Everyone is who they are, and each expression here is propelled by circumstance we know nothing of, the everyday pressures and joys of life that are unexpressed but temper what is said in words to each other here. We really don't know much about each other, and what we do know could be horsefeathers. But the conversation does go somewhere, seen or unseen. And I do appreciate that. Good God indeed.

Greetings from Gabbyland: They are there. And there is this certainty. This certainty that manifests in borders around zones. Light bubbles only to disappear again. Good God.
