The saying that artists are crazy may be true.

Creativity can be a dangerous mine field. And stepping on the outrageously different may definitely be the bomb that destroys all sense of reality.

I am in that mine field - afraid to walk through it. I don't wanna be crazy - tho it may be too late.

Dammit.

And on this discovery, I suggest steering clear of the likes of artists who draw alien life forms and spaceships.

One reason artists go crazy is being alone so much. But they have to be alone to have the time to do their work. It is also true, however, that being alone can produce wisdom because one can think on things. This wisdom can set a person apart from the mass of the people, who are not wise. This can produce alienation, but rejecting things the mass of the people accept is not necessarily a sign of craziness, rather of better judgment. The I Ching advises keeping company with someone. Forming an art group or having friends in some way.

You're right about the alienation - it's a catch-22. I guess the only thing to do is to become comfortable with being 'different.' But you know - there are times when the yearning to be like everyone else can be so strong... and painful... and frustrating. Thank you for your wise words.

How come nobody talks about that part of art? - Instead of what art 'tastes' like (although that is some crazy shit too.) Lol.

You must have some pretty loose standards if you think molesters go to heaven!

Depending on the religion. In some (I'm almost tempted to say 'in most', you can buy your place in heaven (usually you 'pay' your way in by how many people you've recruited, er, converted to your religion; most religions work like a scam pyramid schemes, that is, the more people or souls you have under you, the bigger your residual income).
