Does creativity come along sadness ?

We all have seen a lot of great writers and poets through the history

But there is one thing that I have noticed….that is most of them were going through a phase of sadness or were going through some kind of emotional pain/ suffering

So the question that comes is that does creativity come along sadness ?!

Ok so let me explain why this might be true..

When a person goes through sadness or anything like that, then they think more

Thinking more might lead the person to have more introspective thoughts

And we all know that the human brain is amazing

Soooo… this might lead the person to have more creative thoughts !

Personally I think that this true ( speaking with experience )

Let me know what you all think
