This right here is merely a similarity to the flawed theistic notion that one cannot find meaning in life without god.
Would you be fine living a life where you could only acknowledge the good values of life and not be able to perceive them? I personally think this is no way to live or be an artist. It is a no quality standard of living. Remember, you must pay attention to "what is" as I've explained earlier. If you were to have no positive emotion such as due to anhedonia or misery and you thought to yourself that your life is still good and beautiful, then what is that for you? Are they nothing but words going through your mind or are you actually seeing (perceiving) these good values?
