Seriously, does art bloater up your ego and makes you feel better and stronger than those people whose life are shallow and possibly only success\money driving?

Personally, through all QUALITY PRODUCTS (good music, good drawing, good writings\comics, not the commercial crap) I feel energy and empowerment that allows me to keep up going, aside of the fact that each of these QUALITY PRODUCTS have a story of their own that leads me to good memories (like listening to the soundtrack of a videogame I like I have pleasant memories and it is like I am meeting in person the characters I played the game with and so on).

So, what about you?
