SAN JOSE, Calif.—There are plenty of distractions in our lives keeping us from seeing what is most meaningful. Matt Bertics, a business owner, expressed that after seeing Shen Yun Performing Arts—he was reminded of what is truly important.
“Sometimes I think we put too much value in today’s science and not enough in faith.”
“Before science got in the way, and materialism and commercialism, there was a virtue from the past that we need to carry with us as we go forward,” Mr. Bertics said.
Beauty and Hope
The artists of Shen Yun have dedicated years to honing and perfecting their art. The result is a performance that emanates beauty and hope.“I appreciate people who are willing to put forth their artistic form to send a message. I think it’s very valuable in society, whether it’s authors or dancers or musicians,” Mr. Bertics said.
He stressed that Shen Yun is comprised of “people who are wanting to do this in their lives, and hopefully to bring a message of hope and goodwill for everybody.”
“We know here in the U.S. that we’re so divided, and I think the world does not need to be that way. So the question is, how do we get away from this division? And how do we find a common goal and a common good while maintaining our individuality?” he questioned.
“I think that’s a very valuable show. I think the message is very good. And hopefully, we all take small steps towards being a better world.”
