answer:Do happy people exist? I think life is struggle. Perhaps we choose our struggles to some degree, but very few people are content to be contented and problems abound, should we choose to see them as problems. The artistic temperament may simply be that of a person who is never content. Someone who always sees trouble or problems or room to improve. Or they may be raising laziness to an art form. That is, they want an easier way to do things (because they are lazy) and they create, create, create in order to find an easier way. I include inventors in with artists here. I think that art must be about a topic the artist feels passionately about. I do not believe strong passions fly from contentment. However, there may be other forms of happiness that can inspire art. Like when you are in awe—whether of nature or God or people or love or whatever. That kind of happiness inspires artists to create.
