While I wouldn't go that far, as I believe there are inherantly bad emotions (like that seething revenge emotion), I certainly believe that our views radically shape the world around us. We see what we believe is there, and we react in turn as well. I am continually surprised at how different the world seems to be sometimes. Then I realize that the my outlook on it is what has truely changed.

Emotions themselves aren't good or bad. They just exist.
Acting upon those emotions are where it can be bad. Your "seething revenge" emotion, isn't an emotion at all. It's Anger, with the action of revenge.
Jinn, as for ART is concerned for YOU cannot create art via emotion, that doesn't mean that everyone in the world needs to follow that method. You need to be open to the idea that while it's not for YOU and YOUR experience, it is and has to be a possibility that it is not that way for another human being.
Repressing feelings and emotions is definitely a bad thing. Repressing them with behaviors such as alcohol and drugs and other destructive habits is not a good thing.
Letting your emotions happen and not acting upon them is tantamount to serenity.
