mm... I don't disagree that negativity has spawned some amazing works of art. But in spite of a negative point of view the artists still managed to create something.
I suppose what I am reacting to is more a tendency to simply point out the negative alone. Wallowing in negativity is good for a time, it puts life in perspective. But to simply wallow seems to be rather self-indulgent (chemical imbalance aside).
to be clear, I don't want to live in a world of stepford wives (and people). Negativity has it's place.
