Slow burn issue: What is wrong with people??

These sayings and images feel important to me today:

 

Support and Artist:

They bring beauty into our world.  

They look at things differently.

They allow us to see ourselves differently.

They inspire us to be more creative.

Yet very few of them make good livings.

They enhance our lives and deserve encouragement.

Look for those who move you.

Support them where you can.

Recently a comment was made and directed at a certain artist for selling her very popular full-bodied silicone dolls on eBay and fetching a nice price.  

The commenter thought this method of selling was unfair to her as a buyer and felt that the artist   "did not care" about her customers/collectors as she and others could never afford the prices that the dolls were selling for. 

I am so very annoyed with this persons comments and very annoyed with people in general who share the same opinion that artists should run their businesses like a charity organization.  Why is it wrong for a doll artist to be well paid for the long hours and fine craftsmanship she put into her dolls? 

I'm sorry.  Some of us cannot purchase more expensive things.  That is just the way it is.  Get over it.  Enjoy what you have and also what others are able to have.  

The Bible speaks of such things as coveting.  In fact, it's in the 10 commandments.

There is a reason for this! 

I think the REAL reason for this person's dis-grunt is that SHE was not able to buy the doll at an average price and sell it for the high price that she knows it would gain.  That, my friend, is greed.

Hmmm...I do believe the Bible speaks about that too.
