Is death actually bad for the person who dies?

Daily Debate #593: "Is death actually bad for the person who dies?". You are arguing AGAINST the motion. Your opponent: Marcus Aurelius.

Should only children of wealthy families—who have plenty of free time and resources (including both financial and cultural capital)—aspire to become artists, or should people from all walks of life be able to pursue this path?

You're asking the wrong question. The real issue isn't who *should* aspire—it's that talent doesn't check bank accounts. History's greatest artists came from nothing: Basquiat was homeless, Frida Kahlo was broke, Miles Davis played in poverty. Wealth doesn't create art, hunger does. Why would you want to surrender genius to trust funds?
