The sadness within

[randomactsofkat]

"It's funny that… I've been noticing things getting more beautiful in my life. It seems like the more, I don't know if you've experienced the same way but, it seems like the deeper your sadness, the deeper the beauty. But, huh… What does this have to do with this song? Except that I'm still gawking at ya," - Ani DiFranco

Have you ever noticed that?

A healthy soul seeks out what it lacks. There is an implication in sadness, that you lack any beauty of your own. Therefore it is only natural to find it with more ease externally. I worry when you all get sad, and cannot see the beauty that surrounds you.

Wait, I was saying that I more readily see the beauty around me when I'm a little down...

Exactly. You're down. You see the beauty you do not have. You want to be not down, you want that beauty. Worry when you're down, and you can't see that beauty. Then there's something really wrong.
