13. THE ETERNAL DISAPPOINTMENT OF LIFE AS IT IS

"The Birth of Feeling"

 Having begun to feel, people's desire to feel grew. They wanted to feel more, feel deeper, despite how much it sometimes hurt. People became addicted to feeling. They struggled to uncover new emotions. It's possible that this is how art was born. New kinds of joy were forged, along with new kinds of sadness: The eternal disappointment of life as it is; the relief of unexpected reprieve; the fear of dying. 

Even now, all possible feelings do not yet exist.
