Oh and you don't have to try to understand me, our need for understanding is a mechanism to maintain the illusion of a shared reality, which I believe is why so many "mentally ill" people find some solace in what we call "art", it's not actually in "art" they find solace, it's in going beyond the need for understanding through creation that doesn't have to be understood.
Unfortunately, even though this to me seems like a method that can help a "mentally ill" or any person, we ruin it once again by labelling it as "art" and by doing that we reduce it to something that can be understood as "art", educating people in how to make the correct "art" etc. making it another product of our illusion of a shared reality, another problem for the ones that can't take on the illusion of a shared reality.
