The problem, as St. Carlo Acutis\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eobserved, is that most of us die as photocopies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs an artist, I sell prints of my work. Some of them are timed releases, some are limited editions, and some are open editions (available all the time). I sell a lot of them, but they’re all really just fancy photocopies.  And none are worth as much as the original.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNothing beats an original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSadly, too often we settle for being photocopies.

Maybe your example of standing out from the herd will be the spark that lights the way forward for someone else, giving them courage to be brave, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIs any of this safe?
