Why am I Painting?

Why am I painting? Is it for money? I didn’t earn it anyway, and I am not hoping for it. Then, is it for popularity? In fact, I am not much interested in it because once you get it, you realize there isn’t much pleasure in it. So, why am I painting? Why am I struggling to paint at this stage of life, like a student excited by small breakthroughs in their work? Why? Why? Why? At last, I have found the answer. I am struggling to keep my brain active and engaged. Painting is simply a tool for me to achieve that.
