Art Can Be Uplifting Only if Touched by Sadness

[Daverisimo]

Yea or nay? Discuss.

This isn't to say that all great art must wallow in sadness. There is certainly a very necessary place for that, and for the observer to sit with their own sadness for a time, but that isn't all of art.

On the other hand, without uplifting art, life would be nothing but unending horror. However, without that touch of sadness, it would ring false and hollow.

Whatever, I'm drunk. Fuck you.

Not being touched can bring sadless, if only uplifting
