It is, indeed, sad that most paradigms in the Western World do not appreciate art and beauty the way they should be appreciated. Science and technology has the advantage of building on each others' work, where the arts (although they can be influenced by previous work) cannot simply "plug-in a module" to make a symphony or a sculpture appear. Our life at breakneck speed also makes us too anxious to await the time necessary for a masterpiece to be created. Perhaps it is the artists that are truly mindful and living "in the moment."
