Again, really great writing, Ari. Always inspiring, as well.

This latest of yours makes me think of two things. The first is that I've heard that if you survey random people regarding blind wine tastings of a very expensive wine, a quite decent wine, and a cheap wine, it's the cheap wine that is favored by most for the simple reason it's more sweet than the other two. The vast majority of people are not able to assess the finer qualities of a good wine. The second thing your latest brings to my mind is a news story from a few years ago. The story told of a world class cellist, I think it was, who was busking in the underground of the DC or NY transit system. Here he was playing the most beautiful music, and with the highest skill, while hundreds and hundreds of people rushed by with barely a glance. It was a small minority of folks who understood that this was somebody quite special and/or plainly recognized him. Just makes me think we need to open our hearts and minds much more...not to mention our ears and eyes. The piece may have been on 60 Minutes. Rock on!
