Suffering and mental anguish are necessary ingredients to bring out the genius in a person's creative endeavours. This misery is what separates the truly great from the less fortunate happy artists. Stable mental health, inner peace, and positive affirmations from others is the breeding ground for complacency, ordinariness and mediocrity, and will insure that an artist's body of creative work is omitted from the books of historical masterpieces.
If you know a painter, writer, or musician that seems unreasonably happy you'll be providing them a great service by doing what you can to make their life a living hell. Pointing out their many character faults and offering frequent unsolicited scathing critiques of their work will lead them down the road to immortal greatness.
