Pity speaks to grief More sweetly than a band of instruments.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Consolation of music is different from the one of words. It starts from the inside... It cries with you instead of telling you to stop crying.
Only the artists interest me whose hearts beat in unison with the poignant misery of the world. If you have not felt that, you have not lived. Pity is essential.
Pity addresses the perceived suffering, not the whole individual.
Thank God for beautiful songs about feeling despair when you yourself are in despair. They really get us through.
To pity distress is but human; to relieve it is Godlike.
Pity sidesteps complexity in favor of narratives that we're comfortable with, reducing the nuances of a person's experience to a sound bite.
Maybe it's the music that enables them to function like that, to always take everything as it comes and never complain about the misery, hardship or injustice.
It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature and everlasting beauty of monotony.
Tears are the silent language of grief.
Pity is just another form of abuse.
