Art
"It is a myth that art has to be sold. It is not like stocking a grocery store where people fill a pushcart. Art is a product that has no apparent need. The salesperson builds the need in the mind of the buyer."
- Jack White III
Though art is unneeded, it serves a purpose far greater than useless frivolity. Unlike all else, art is not essential to our survival, yet it captivates us. Broken and evil, we are drawn to art's beauty, a concept opposite of our current state. Our souls, yearning to be beautiful and righteous, cling to the aesthetics art has to offer. Convinced we need art, we gather up paintings and immerse ourselves in melodious song. Focused on art's beauty, we ignore our brokenness.
