sadness is very beautiful part of our life but some thing its worst but if we fell it is very beautiful part
ans calmness is the greatest of all in the world and siting alone also is very beautiful part of life
so we should not miss lonelyness and calmness

I agree with you when you say that the world has seen some of the greatest spouts of creativity from the saddest of mindframes.
I’ve noticed myself that I tend to write mostly when I’m at my worst – and you can see that in my journal.
Yes there are these bursts of happy moments in my posts, but you can tell how empty they seem at times.

Some of the images were very graphic, and the image “They call her Dumbo” touched me, because I could relate so much to the situation. I think sadness and suffering are necessary evils in life, because without them, there can be no appreciation for happiness or compassion. I enjoyed your gallery. Keep up the good work.

The pictures are quite touching. It is difficult to truly depict sadness but there is beauty in sadness too and if we can see the beauty of it perhaps it will uplift, even only for a breif moment, the sadness we feel. Brevity is an important part of life just as sadness helps us appreciate the small things in life that we take for granted, like the morning sunshine, or the smell of roses or just a walk in the park or the fact that we walk at all. Sadness reminds us to enjoy more the lesser things of life.

Sad art is necassary for human outlook on themselves. And to find the beauty contrasting rage, and its immense power.

That in my mind raises the question, should art that came from extreme emotional stress be published? It is hard for me to envision what kind of sadness the artists feel. My friend is publishing something along those lines. He had a distressed childhood, and now he is publishing a book of intensely depressing poems with pictures that remind me of doom. I think, even if I did not know him, I would have so much trouble viewing such a publication because the intense emotional pain can be felt as I browse through the pages. In these cases, I think something hopeful is very necessary at the end of the book.

I can understand how some artists hope to instigate a feeling or understanding of the monstrosities or injustices of life. However, I find that viewing SOME of this type of art is like viewing a horror film. It isn’t really to inspire but only to instigate negative emotions without offering any redeeming qualities. I also think that too many of these visuals can create a constant negative for the psyche.
