caio,
eating people is wrong, sacrificing virgins is wrong (do they not have mothers-in-law in those cultures?). what about abortion? what about killing an animal? what about killing a plant? genesis instructs us that fruit and seeds shall be our food as the eating of such is the gift of the plant to us for helping it survive. what about spending lavish amounts of money on opera productions while people starve elsewhere, is that wrong?
i would concede your point that opera singing requires academic training to do the 'right' way. i would argue against its need for academic training justifying its value. i knew someone who earned a doctarate in ancient languages. he expected doors to open upon receiving his degree. unfortunately, translating at the trials of people who have been reincarnated does not provide full-time employment and, as his professor had the only other job in that field, he was out of luck.
