When are sad
people happy? Or what makes sad people happy?
I always feel
good when I see a dog. Dogs are good. Generally their minds are not fucked up
like ours. That's why the make me feel good. They just wave their tails, sniff
around and bark occasionally. I might be wrong but the feeling I get by seeing
a dog is good and calm so what else can I think? People make me nervous. I
can't trust them. You never know what's going on in their minds.
Usually I don't
get good vibes when watching "happy families". I don't believe their
happiness is true or then the sight of them just bores me, or even worse,
sometimes it scares the shit out of me. This is obviously an age problem. What
else could it be? Everything is explained with something, the fear of getting old,
fear or dying, fear of vanishing.
I'm not
extremely sad but I can be very melancholic from time to time. I also feel that
I'm afraid of a lot of things. I never feel empty or tired. I feel restless and
angry. Full of thoughts, ideas bursting inside me. I feel that this world
steals my freedom, it steals my precious time. I feel I'm taking part in a long
game of monopoly and that I can't get out or quit. And if I would quit I
wouldn't know where to go, except heaven if there is one. This "not knowing
situation" makes me sad. I understand the situation very well but I don't
know the solution nor do I have an explanation. It's like understanding
eternity. It's impossible, but you still try and when you get tired you get
sad, some people call this melancholia. Some philosophers even divided people
into four categories according to their personalities. One of them was the
melancholic one. Saturn influenced these people strongly.
You could say
they are nostalgic dreamers but I believe it's more complex than that.
I don't have any
explanations yet, nor am I a professor in psychology, astronomy or philosophy.
I'm simply a curious artist. I'm not looking for a remedy or trying to get
cured, because the feelings I have make my life exiting and even worth living.
