Those who know me know I love a good hypothetical question. I love discovering where people stand on gray issues. Asking these types of questions often leads to deeper conversation and better understanding of a person's philosophies, beliefs, and reasonings.
Today is Hypothetical Wednesday and so I challenge readers out there to take the risk and answer me this:
Would you rather be moderately wealthy from the art you create (e.g., acting, writing, painting, photography, singing, software design, etc.) and be known for it in this lifetime, or would you rather become part of the canon for instruction in the future and globally famous but only after your death?
Why?
Would your answer change if you knew that you'd get a Nobel prize or Pulitzer posthumously?
I look forward to hearing the results!
