its a representation of what happens inside of us, anon. it feels 'good' to do bad things, right?. or we feel what we can call joy while doing it... it is usually followed by remorse. some people learn to ignore that remorse by feeding on the bad in an attempt to stay in perpetual 'joy', we all know that is impossible, though.

what is possible is giving in to the good, even though it takes hard work but once youre used to it, it doesnt bother you at all, in fact, it feels good (just like it feels good to do exercise when your body is not 'rusty')

I understand what you are saying. But I meant as in I'll do a work of art that I'm particularly proud of. I dig the zen I was in and time I had creating it. I'm highly satisfied and impressed with how it turned out. But a lot of times it doesn't translate. 

While some stuff I don't necessarily have no creative fulfillment in making (just not as much) and/or not as happy with how it turned out/it didn't translate to how I envisioned it. And it will get more engagement. 

I guess the answer would probably be that of course I'm going to like something more that I put my whole heart in and that won't necessarily translate to others. But I feel like maybe it does indicate that I do a shit job at conveying that (as that is the point of art). 

And like I said, it's ultimately trivial. I don't do it for the engagement. Not the stuff that comes from pure passion anyway. Just has me introspective of how things translate.

its easier for people to engage with dark because everyone knows their dark side, its louder and easier to notice. 

lets say you have a 1 km white sheet in front of you with a 100m black stain, way more people are gonna notice the black stain rather than the grandness of the sheet, i guess you just have to be happy knowing you can see 'the whole picture' and are able to represent that in some way rather than put yourself down because your vision is not understood by people not willing to see

I get what you are saying there too. I feel often times it to be the opposite though. Like a simple sketch will pick up lots of interest while something more complex (louder) will get barely a notice. 

I get what you are saying though. It's the reason that the most obnoxious person is chosen for a news statement. Cause they're louder and demand attention.

yes, because people will like a doodle way because it represents a simple idea. it is easy to relate to it.

it is harder to relate to something like this if the most reflection of self is done through mirrors instead of meditation
