Taken in the context you have put it, I agree somewhat with you in your opinions.<br /><br />Sorrow often moves me, even more than any other emotion. But that is because it makes me more aware of beauty and the other more positive emotions. It is a touchstone.<br /><br />I don't if that makes sense to you, but I think what you quoted from the essay is getting at the point that although those more negative emotions are valuable and not worth valuing less, their value is in helping us as humanity in getting to the more positive emotions that inherently make us happy.Michelle D.

To make them feel something and see the world with new eyes. I think purpose is an important part of that.Danyelle L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10366276085080565870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5081955273890368448.post-77268902529899746462009-06-06T00:06:11.632+10:002009-06-06T00:06:11.632+10:00Inky, my mother's reading that right now!

They are the hardest to write, and the ones that most people identify most strongly with. Everyone has experienced loss and sorrow and anger (misplaced or not). <br /><br />And good art is anything that can evoke an emotion in a person and make them feel something. Because it's better to feel something than nothing at all.Elana Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05877856005992028912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5081955273890368448.post-19959426432280192602009-06-05T23:34:09.194+10:002009-06-05T23:34:09.194+10:00Hmmmm....I just finished reading this on Glam'...Hmmmm....I just finished reading this on Glam's blog (I'm behind, obvs), and for some reason I didn't notice this part.<br /><br />You make an interesting point.
