For me, the more an image or series of images stirs people (to either pleasure or pain) the more artful it is. The muses care not for delicate moral sensibilities, but revel in the raw expression of emotion.

I agree with Mr. Power (an apt name, I find), Western 'pity culture' is subject to all manner of hypocrisy and double-standard. Better to accept the savagery of life in its totality than to sugar-coat our existence by pretending we are anything other than predators and parasites. At least that's how I see things.
