What is the connection between pain and artistic creativity? Today, all forms of sadness are perceived as bad, unwanted and abnormal, while happiness is good, desirable and normal. The connection between pain and creativity is only coincidental and does not focus much on it. Is that really true?
I am one of those who think that happiness is exaggerated in almost every period, especially today. Happiness has become the ultimate human goal in which all our efforts and thoughts are directed. What do normal people do, according to experts? The so-called studies of happiness have turned the books of happiness into commercial exploitation, where we have turned our heads around wherever we turn our heads.
Historically, many philosophers have seen depression as well as melancholy, not as evil as today. They thought of it as a different point of view that should already exist in human life.
Why is Aristotle, a philosopher, a statesman, poet, or an artist? I ask for Tolstoy at the beginning of my article by asking me how it is possible for his period.
Aristotle writes with a medical approach, but Heraclitus, Socrates and the late philosophers Heidegger, Kierkegaard wrote more about the reflections, existence and artistic expression of depression in our daily lives.
