No connection to the common man. Nothing put pure arrogance and self-absorbtion.
No sense of team, no sense of sacrifice, no sense of brotherhood. So sad. |
We gifted superior folks understand the jealousy of our lessers and are united in our brotherhood of brilliance to sacrifice showing our gifts too often to spare you all the pain.
Especially the ones that make comics. |

I realize this is a joke. But even a cursory glance at the history of art shows that many great artists mainlined reality every day. Many had a great sense of brotherhood and sacrifice.
Arrogant, maybe. But who cares?
A great artist can change the world with a single work. |
Indeed. And a great psycopath can change the world with one gunshot? Should we celebrate them as "superior"?
Really, I apprecaite the wonder of "art", I've just always hated when you get artists going on about how great they are and so "in touch" with mankind.  |

| Whoever contemplates about who is superior or inferior is in fact inferior. |

It's beyond being "in touch", my inferior non-artist friend.
But the superiority of mind, fraternity, and brotherhood that we feel forbids me to explain more to you. |

No, I already knew what I stated before thus I did not have to contemplate it. |
