“In a world like this, art is not a luxury, if a luxury is something we can do without. Art is essential equipment for the task of being human.”

Hmmm – what does “a world like this” mean to you?

A world like this: where people aren’t perfect, are frequently lost, and have more questions than answers.

To turn this line of thought into a question:

“How does art enable, in the light of imperfect, often lost and questioning people, remain human?”

What do imperfect, often lost and questioning people become without art?

I’m not sure, but I’d like to propose one possible answer for the inverse–with art, lost and questioning people can often become comforted.
