If the soul yearns to be clad, to become mortal than wouldn't that mean for the soul a physical body is the natural state of happiness. You did say that at birth the natural state is happiness. But if being born was actually the action of a soul being "trapped" then at birth the natural state should be misery. So which is it. Are we naturally happy at birth with the completion of the soul (physical and spiritual) or are we naturally miserable at birth with an eternal soul trapped in a physical body?

all hints to every piece of "great" art that has existed & has yet to exist, but what makes art great? channeling the visions in our heads into something tangible & appreciation for its splender really lies in the eyes of the beholder...but art stems from many inspirations - genius, love, suffering, madness, obliviousness & accidental.. to say that all great art stems solely from one of these is quite the daring path..

I certainly agree... Most of the beautiful art in this world came about from someone's suffering, or someone they knew that was suffering. True art is an expression of emotions - whether it's happiness, suffering, anger, fear, doubt, love, etc. That's how I do my art - always from the heart.

False.

Although art come be created through pain. Other emotions also help to create art. simple
