Is literature, like all art, quite useless?
I'm not saying. I'm asking. Tell me.

My opinion is that art is quite a good way to cope with all kinds of difficulties lifeīs bring to you. Thatīs because with art there is always symbolic distance and it in most cases moves also your feelings. In talking there can happen you never have to affect your feelings, you can talk just rationally. I think art and specially music is the most important think in my life if I think my growing, it could be that I will not here writing if I hadnīt got music. Someone else might need some other art form.
