To me, art is one of the most human things in the world. It is something that has connected a dizzying amount of nations and cultures and has been done since humans have been around. It inspires those down on their feet and brings light to things no one might’ve thought of. I don’t see the logic in saying art is useless or someone shouldn’t be an artist because they don’t make money, but if that artist makes a difference in even a single person’s life or even their own, one shouldn’t hassle them about it. It would be great if society was a great insect-like hivemind which made sure everyone had a proper function and everyone was taken care for but it isn’t, humans are all unique individuals with their own wills and wishes and if someone wants to spend their life writing mediocre books, let them. It could have a greater impact on the world than expected and it would make that one person’s life happy. If one person has to live a miserable life to make other’s betters, it seems rather counter intuitive to create suffering in attempting to end it.
