Sometimes i wonder if art is truly hard or if it's selling it that's the truly hard stuff

I don't even know how to articulate it without risking crossing into the forbidden boundaries of finances and other private stuff. But I'm sure you know what I'm getting at though without me having to say it aloud, right? Not to mention just the way society treats being rich as a moral high ground of some sort.
