Speaking of pretty pictures I have the following question for you
all: it seems quite evident that as human beings we need a bare minimum
of possessions in our apartments/houses to have a normal life. Yet,
we tend to be quite fond of all sorts of objects of art. They are
completely useless as far as any task at hand is concerned but
they are omnipresent. Why?
Thanks,
Roman.
