Something something art.

Here's my short thought (sparked by reading Elizabeth Gilbert's "Eat Pray Love"): Is all art self-serving to some degree?

I read her book, and for many a reason, don't fully connect with it, partially because I think her style of narrative is self-serving. But I know this is inherent in non-fiction, especially non-fiction memoirs. But is it more than just that? Don't many people create art to record something of themselves, or for the catharsis? Aren't these things, then, self-serving.

I don't know. Just curious.
