@killingfloorman The hardest part is when the cost of either is so extremely high. Sometimes you just have to choose art.
@killingfloorman True, though art tends to be more of a mirror than a clear voice because some stories are too potent to be faced head on. They have to be told vicariously, in pieces or a way that allows others to find that voice within themselves that whispers those things to them in a way they can hear it.
