An Idea about Art June 3 2010

I think that the basic design of human endeavour beyond survival is Art, art of tackling boredom. Sometimes we get so involved in it that we forget we can always invent something new if one thing doesn't work. Other than that if boredom finds it way back again, one can just let it settle like Dust. Boredom for the sake of boredom, art for the sake of art, but it all for the sake of meaning. And so we finally would have nothing. Unless dust counts, although flowers do seem to.

And to look beyond this limited argument, there is also the art of survival which precedes the art of tackling boredom. Sometimes we confuse the two. And I wonder whether I am doing that right now.
