why do we enjoy poetry From the perspective of neuroscience?

RE: why do we enjoy poetry From the perspective of neuroscience?
You know, it seems to me that SO MANY people are depressed, and so many commit suicide, that it may actually be an evolutionary feature rather than a bug.

Clinical depression with dogs shows that they will cease to avoid electric shock if it comes randomly-- because one way or the other, in order to continue acting, they have to have some sense that there's a point in acting.
