Puzzling

What is art ? A medium of conveying emotions in a convoluted way. Take a movie as long as the answer is singular , I dont feel cheated by it ..I like it and then if there is a puzzle to crack ... an ' Aaha moment' the more valued it becomes ?

Or if I see the reflections of my feelings, I identify myself with some aspect of the characters and I understand them, I find it deeply engrossing. Is it cause I need a constant reassurance by someone else, see it in someone lse a reaffirmation of my thoughts/ beliefs ?

Is that need for reassurance so intense now, hat I have begun to 'HATE' normal movies, why cant I just appreciate a chillout bollywood masala movie ? What is it ?

THere is a wonderful score by Vivaldi "The spring" .. it takes me to 'someplace else' ... and then "The flight of the Bumble Bee" by Korsakov. Why being direct is not so charming ? Cause its mundane?.. Buts isnt it more efficient to convey things directly...less chances of misinterpretation.. but still ..isnt it true that poetry wins hands down over prose,

Why music in particular is so very alluring to me ? Cause I dont understand any other art forms ?

If its an absurd world why do I even bother with these ? Should I care
