      My guy, all jobs are ultimately pointless if you look at it from the biggest perspective. The best that they can do is to make someone happier, which art does by adding meaning and beauty to people’s lives.

      says the guy emotionally moved by a piece of art.

      You’ve never read a book, listened to music, watched a movie or TV show, you don’t hang art on your walls and you never went to school?

      You’ve been consuming art your whole life and, for a great many people, contributing to them paying their way.

      Every ticket bought, every ad you watched, every game played: funding artists.

      I would honestly say that the creation of art is more important than most current jobs in society.

      Art is what I really live for, most of everything is either about survival, comfort, or convenience. Remember, most of the entertainment you consume is a form of art, from videogames, to tv shows, to youtube videos, to books, to drawings, to stories.

      Without art, life would have much less meaning for me.
