From this perspective, this would mean that all those famous and genius miserable artists, providing they had no positive emotions, would only be dragging their lives on and creating works of art through nothing more than a positive mindset. That is why I first objected to this whole idea of the "miserable inspired artist" because I thought that there could be no positive quality state of mind there as long as you did not have your positive emotions.
You are so confused. You can't make your mind up what your frigging position is.
Now, I would like to ask you a question. You said that we need a state of mind that possesses a positive quality to it to truly make our lives good and beautiful and that the belief of your life being good and beautiful simply isn't enough as long as you do not possess that positive quality. Therefore, could you present me the articles/evidence that present this?
