This question came from a dream I had (that was a bit like nibbed's poem).
And who better, I thought, than poets to ponder the abstracts? So I posted it.
Considering the immense generalities involved, I think it's a bit like a koan:
something to be meditated upon without any expectation of resolution.
In my dream love was creating beauty. So my reasoning, when I posted the
question and voted, was that beauty needed love. But now I'm thinking it's
the creator who has the need.
Psalm 8:3-4
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

all this useless beauty... but what the hell, why not?
