Tchaikovsky On Depression And Finding Beauty Amid The Wreckage Of The Soul
I have always believed that in order to feel life’s highs, we have to also accept life’s lows. There is no other way for this to happen. But getting high on life’s highs & lows is the only way to truly live. Otherwise you just have to dull the pain with alcohol or other drugs, or food or sex. That’s not living; that’s just existing.
Thank you, Writer, for sharing these thoughts with us. ;-)
Peace, love & a long life to all,

A Writer And His Thoughts, Meaning In Life
“Life is beautiful in spite of everything!…There are many thorns, but the roses are there too.”
Tchaikovsky notes his cyclical lapses into depression, undergirded by a dogged dedication to looking for beauty and meaning amid the spiritual wreckage. This intimate tango of sadness and radiance is ultimately what gives his music its timeless edge in penetrating the soul.
