I strongly believe in contrast. The best analogy I can make is music. Contrast makes the best music in my opinion. Songs about party joy and fun only seems meaningless to me. Not that joy is meaningless but if nothing else is expressed it feels fake or empty to me. Like it doesn't really describe truthfully what life is.
A melancholic song doesn't necessarily makes me sad and I think it's the greatest emotion to express musically. Thinking that those who wrote the song may have lived huge amount of sadness to come to express it that way makes me feel like this is the purpose to every negative emotions. Empowering the positive ones. Side by side there's nothing more powerful and it makes creation a worthwhile experience.
Good music will succeed at expressing every emotions in their best contrasts possibles. A good creation will succeed at expressing every degree of emotions and their contrats and so some must feel the negative ones at times. It's only a build up for what's to come. Nobody's gonna regret the build up of their experiences. I can garantee that.
