Why Bother?

This painting captures a man in an ecstatic state, minding his own business and seemingly oblivious to the world around him. It conveys the idea that sometimes it is better to just be in your own space, rather than trying to make sense of what is going on around you. The man in this painting appears to be listening intently but whatever he hears goes in one ear and out the other, as if he is tuning out all the noise and focusing on just living in the moment. He is taking life as it comes.
