Creativity And "Salvation"

Alan: Increasingly, I value artistic creativity as an excellent - and perhaps the preeminent - way of "working well" and thus "living well." 

Those who merely labor without any artistic aspiration may become the meanest of men, seeing themselves as "nobly self-reliant," not in the least like "those despicable layabouts and n'er-do-wells" strumming their guitars, beating their drums, applying paint to canvas and strutting the stage.
