What's the Purpose of Art?

[Ebe]

Ebe, Perception, perception, perception. All time, in actuality, is simultaneous. The so-called, past, the present and the future, the probable futures, all exist simultaneously, in the present moment. Perception changes with every thought.[...]

Of course, I don't question that, indeed time does not exist. It's the way we use our free will, the direction the choices that make the difference. I know that all is good "in the very end" but it is also true that all is up to us, otherwise we'd be no more than puppets. So, in terms of personal karma, there is a great difference if I keep my mirror impeccably clean or if I stain it with silly choices. Making the right choices may help me and all those around me in terms of lessening our suffering. This is true for everything, art included. If I perceive something and my mirror is distorted, I send a distorted message to my audience and cause them pain or absurd, destructive thoughts and my responsibility is great because I'm in a public position and my choices do weight unto the others.
As you see, I'm not speaking of guilt.
