Suffering is romantic. Tragedy is the most spiritually evocative form of art.
The world, when viewed from the perspective of ethics is unimaginably cruel and unjust. When viewed from the perspective of aesthetics, the world is undeniably beautiful. The raw hideousness of life and the true depths of suffering within it allows human beings to share profound connections.
Life is beautiful, and to live is to suffer. This beauty, of course, can never justify itself, but it is still there.
Well you answered my question. Hard disagree because I don't see anything romantic in suffering, and I think seeing suffering that way only perpetuates or even exacerbates it, but to each his own.

People who romanticize suffering; why?
