Art

[nexion]

I thought that this went in better in the whole rather than in the art subforum.

Art (to me at least) is illogical, based on emotions, and is abstract. I'm talking primarily about music and visual art, by the way. So, the way I see it, art is nonsense to a logical mind. We have logical minds. Yet, and I don't think I'm speaking only for myself here, art makes perfect sense. We can hear a piece of music and feel the emotion, or see a painting and see the meaning and the enormous complexity of the mind, of the subject, and of the infinity around it, and it can amaze us and astound us, and we can spend hours thinking about that singular subject.

Does that make INTP the perfect balance between logic and emotion?

Not any moreso than anyone else. I really don't understand how that makes us a balance between logic and emotion. In fact if you try to place an idea like "balance" around these concepts you're only dealing with an abstract judgement about what is too much or too little, not some kind of quantifiable comparison.

I will tell you that I do not feel "balanced" at all when it comes to emotion. Art however is about a lot more than emotion.

Heh, I suppose you're correct. I too am lacking on the emotional side. But some art and lyrics, or even music itself, makes me highly emotional. But it's probably about the only thing that does make me emotional.
