What is art?

Personally, I kind of despise that question, as well as the other kinds of questions that kind of go with it, such as:
"How do you define yourself as an artist?"
"What do you want to say through your art?"

Have you ever had to do one of those reflections?  Answer pointless questions that you don't know the answer to, so you just pretend you do and try to use the word juxtaposition so that it sounds smart?

What is art?  Maybe there isn't one definition.  Maybe it isn't a tangible thing, maybe it's not something that you can use words to describe.  A picture is worth a thousand words, so why even bother to try and make up the difference?  For some people, even just living your life could be an art - the most beautiful thing you have to show for all your time and effort is the fact that you are here, alive, on this Earth that can be so goddamn beautiful.  And you're a part of it.  Maybe art is just creating something beautiful, so maybe your child is your greatest masterpiece.  Maybe art is just love.
I don't know.
How you define yourself as an artist?  Why do you have to?  People change all the time, people are the most wonderfully fucked up, beautiful creatures that can read and write and talk and make art, if they want to.  There aren't enough words in the English Language to describe even one person's entire personality or life.
And as for what you want to say, why do you have to explain yourself?  I know I have no idea what I'm saying - it's just a feeling, or just a pretty picture, but I know I don't feel obligated to answer "What are you saying" with anything else but "What do you hear?"  because everyone is different and everyone sees different things.
And I know I'm not necessarily the best artist in the world, but should that even be a factor in what makes "Art"?

Why do we need to answer all these questions?  Why do we need to label and categorize everything?  I know if there are words for it it makes more sense, but maybe part of its beauty is the fact that you can never know exactly what it is.

Maybe that's what art is.
But that's just my opinion.
