Art.
Experiencing art: Music, literature, paintings, architecture, movies, it doesn't matter. Good art can be used to elevate the mind and inspire people.
Creating art: I experience the world, process my experiences, and then endow them with an aesthetic through artistic expression. It is this art which gives meaning and justification to the dreary experience of existence.
Becoming art: Every action and every achievement is a brushstroke on the canvas of the self, and every hardship is an opportunity to realize the self's potential. I envision a cohesive life-aesthete and use it to define what is virtuous and great. Then, I act pragmatically to manifest these concepts into reality by transforming the self, and by helping others to do the same. The way I see it, when something or someone has aesthetic value, its existence is justified.
