Estelyn, I agree with your statement whole heartedly.

Eru was an artist, a musician first and foremost, not a sadist!

When I imagine Eru, in a more 'humble' aspect than that of others who portray this figure, I see it like this:
Eru is like an ageless figure who will sit in one area of a room filled with all different sorts of turmoil of every emotion of all these other figures who, like two warring parties will go back and forth at each other as they sit in the foreground of the picture, pensive, but also showing signs of attension to the situation at large and small.
Eru seems like some person who just woke up one day and said, "You know, an experiment sounds good today..." or, " I think i'll fill a gallery today and not show up at first, but come in through the back door and see what happens."
Eru was taking a chance much like with an experiment or a gallery show by not trying to be perfect and subject their subjects and outputs to what they want, but letting things run it's course the way they do. It's like throwing a party and just simply stating on the invites, "Surprise party!" He didn't give his actors and actresses maniplative scripts or topic cards, he let them write their own.
And, to answer the Sadist question, Why would you want to torch or destroy one of your own works? It wasn't really possible for Eru to go out and steal or copy someone elses' work. In my opinion and personal experience in the arts, Eru had it made as being an Original original...
