Watched a documentary on a once world-famous painter. Here's an extremely talented, young artist, totally immersed in the world, creating amazing works, and became great in the eyes of the world. He continued to seek more respect and success in the art world. In the end unhappiness drove him to taking drugs and he died young and lonely. I am lead to think that how infinitely better it would be to immerse oneself in God, be content to remain unknown, and do works to please the Lord alone. This is true liberation.
