For a long time now, melancholy and sadness have been valued in art so much it led many artists to commit suicide. It is no surprise for anyone when the news announce the death of a famous singer or actor, due to the fact there is so much pressure on them to be famous from the start to the end of their career.
Some people believe that pressure is a normal and healthy thing for any career and that it encourages professionals throught hard times leading them to get better results. On other hand pressure may lead to anxiety and depression, increasing the probability to use drugs, such as controlled medicines, alcohol and cocaine.
I firmly believe that people ho work with art suffer more pressure because we live in an conservative environment where being creative is a synonym of thinking outside of the box, and we as a society are not mature enough to accept that.
On balance, I feel that sadness is so valued due to the fact it is accepted but creativity that comes from happiness is not. Society is so used to artists being sad that we stopped caring when they really suffer from it.
