"why even bother?" because it brings you joy. because it brings you satisfaction. because it makes others smile/laugh/cry. because that's worthwhile. next question.

Even the greatest masterpieces have critics. Remember bringing joy to even one person, even yourself, is worth it. Making another feel anything joy/sadness/anger/grief is an accomplishment because it means you touched them

sometimes when i remember robin williams i think back to how his loss had a great effect on people for many reasons, but they all boil down to being if they didn't personally know him, it was because he made them laugh (1/2)

and that is because spreading laughter is the most inexpensive yet effective way of spreading joy and all the good in the world. (2/2)

I totally agree with the sentiment, but I think it also deserves expounding and not cutting it off with "next question". What you said is not obvious to many people, and some would even disagree, and not out of malice -- they literally and sadly don't see their own satisfaction as a worthy cause.
