Arterial question

Some people just ‘happen’ to keep away from art forms. There is no strict social norm that everybody ought to even appreciate some form of art. They need not even ‘tolerate’ it. This is one area where people seem to ‘agree-to-disagree’ by non-verbalized mutual consensus!

It is not a surprise therefore to find a question that seeks to find out the ‘worth’ of art in social life. By itself, art is the very life breath to its fans, worshippers etc. To people in ancient days, art was even an effective tool for spiritual upliftment, and like a sugar-coated pill, instead of those rigorous and arduous spiritual practices. But with some of our people who are simply not interested in any form of art, what is the ‘social’ value of art, is the question.

If the answer finds an acceptance and then some appeal, then may be, it might persuade those who are yet to be initiated into the intoxicant-drink called art, to have a sip, a taste of it, and then, it a sure way to bliss!

How does art relate to our social life?
how does art relate to our social life?


My(relative) answer:
We can call it a social life only when there is an emotional bond of some sort between people. Art is when there is some harmony in the manifest form of an emotional creativity. Harmonic expressions of emotion find easy appeal to others and thus weaving a social fabric is easier with art. Once people are 'tuned' to each other through art, which itself being very harmonic, finds instant mass appeal, social togetherness is easier and faster.
