Why is misery such a powerful muse?

Question: Why is misery such a powerful muse!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Lots of people are miserable but relatively few are powerfully creative!. The muse is the muse, not misery!. Misery does not create symphonies!. But perhaps it's often necessary for people in whom the muse resides to experience misery in order to contact it!.

This is a very complex process and it will be difficult to understand it!.

In the first place the person who has misery wants to evoke sympathy hoping that the sympathy factor will help in others overlooking the mistakes committed!. !.
At the same time , others also know that some time or the other they , too, will be in similar situation and that makes them look at the miserable persons sympathetically!.These too combined make Misery a very powerful factor to use !.

If we look at the TV and the other media they , too, will exploit this weakness in the human beings and exaggerate miserable situations by highlighting them!.

As if this is not enough Religious organisations keep on pounding us saying that we should help the needy and the miserable or else!.!.!. we go to hell!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

great question brother
great question

it is true that misery is very powerful muse
it is true no man can be happy completely in his or her life,till there is human life,there will be always misery and pain and happiness also
aacording to carvaka school of indian philosophym which is atheist belive that we had to maximize the pleasure and should minimize the pain
but i belive that misery and pain is also necessary in this world because of the following reasons

1 if there will be no foolish humans in this world what will be the value of the intelligent,there will be no differnece,so foolish humans had also importance!.
2 if there will be no ugly things in this world what will the importnace of beauty,there will be no difference
3 in the same way if there will be no misery and pain in life what will be significance of happines will left,so misery and pain is also necessary

according to upnishads two type of persons alwas remain happy
1 brahma gayani( the person who had supreme knowledge like krisha and buddha!.
2 mahamurkha( greatest foolish) because of his ignorance

we are neither brahmagayani nor mahamurkh so we remain both happy and also get misery
indian philosophy is pessimistic meanss it bega with intial pessism and see this world as place of misery but its end is optisam,it give solution to problems of human life and how we can live our life to the best!.
this question also strike buddha mind when he also see misery at all the places,than he give solution to all the problems!.

we cant live happy because of the following reasons
1 desires,they have no end we had to satisy at certain stage
2 attachment is biggest cause of pain,so dont get attach with anything in excess
3 physical and mental diseases,we should perform yoga to remove all the diseases!.
4 ego it is also cause of many unhappiness,so we should crush our ego not self respect!.
5 too much honesty,the person who are too much honest also live unhappy,so we should be clever in life also
moeny cannot buy happiness when we see world richest person they always remain in tension and misery so happiness is subjective a poor person by wealth can also live happy!.
6 true Happiness is that happiness which we require without harming others,in which all feel happy by our acts,things which are benefical for me as well as others,if we are geting happiness by harming others that is not true happiness!.

god bless you and give you power and beauty

In Bali, men breast feed their children, and when the babies cry they laugh and laugh!. This sounds cruel, but when questioned about it, they say that the father's milk, the milk of frustration, makes the children creative!. The people of Bali are world renowned artists!. Almost everyone is creative there!. They believe (and I agree) that frustration is the source of that talent!.

This is also why very few artists have a high genius IQ!. Most artists and musicians are middle high intelligence!. Smart enough to be bored and not smart enough to work around it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It does what many doesn't inside you it builds up and never unfolds till you let it out to someone that listens ( :) ) That's why it becomes so powerful because one doesn't know who to talk to parents tend to be "To busy" Or just not very under standing until you are about to break!.!.!. Happiness becomes low after a while because it was accomplished and more comes to your brain to want to do!.!.!. and pushes you back down until you do it!.!.!.

Because when we are miserable we don't want to do much else, but sit and wallow in it, so we have time to think, and we love to THINK about what went wrong, and how we got to that point, and then we like to share it with others so they know what we are going through!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
