It is amazing how many useless and unnecessary things we enjoy, which thrill us, can make us laugh and cry and scream with admiration. All the arts from painting to song and dance, other performing arts and even sports hold us spellbound and yet are activities, which if they never existed, would not have changed history. What is this power they hold over us?
Our emotions are mysterious things. They are the doorway to a part of our being we can not define and yet we would not be "human" without them. They are appetites that need feeding, like the delicious desert after a bad meal or "day at the office".
The converse is those who feel the overwhelming need to do all these things. They would be incomplete without them. They work hard to perfect these skills to please others and they are fulfilled by the appreciation showed by their audiences. Two needs are satisfied by a single act.
Whatever the answer to this mystery may be, thank God for the "useless".
