Age of the Darkest Sorrow

We are constantly submerged in society’s demand for correct behavior. But if we always try to be adequate in the eyes of society, we may lose our focus on truth. The world seems to be telling us to avoid trying to find meaning in our most dolorous emotions. So we often do not see that there can be beauty when we are troubled. Joy has been the only acceptable goal for many around us for centuries. Accepting the sole argument of joy is like accepting that heaven is our only destination. But what about unheard, sabotaged feelings? Excruciating feelings are given names like hell or the abyss. It is only the world of art that does not segregate damaged thoughts. In art we can find salvation for our sorrows. A journey to the depths of lamentation conveys beauty, making the greatest art out of hurt.
