Are you a freak if you can find beauty in dark places?

I feel like such a freak. I can find the beauty in things like pain and sorrow, is there something wrong with me? Do I need therapy?Are you a freak if you can find beauty in dark places?
Nope that means you are normal.





People who are not normal only find beauty in the obvious because they are so idiotic. There are a lot of those types and it seems like their numbers are increasing.Are you a freak if you can find beauty in dark places?
I have a problem with the word 'freak' that you use.





It is problematic in its definitions because 'Freak' is incredibly subjective and open to a wide range of use, misunderstanding, miss-use and thus abuse.





There is nothing wrong or 'negative' in seeing beauty in what you describe ~ in sorrow or pains or in say, melancholia. It matters by the degrees in which you can or cannot see beauty ~ by the balance in these things and in your perception of them.





Some people are ~ 'in touch' with a much broader spectrum of human emotion than the majority of us ...feeling and responding to what others may fail to notice ~ or to the depth of such feeling.





Apparently, in Jewish mythology there are a group of angels named The Lamed Vov (my spelling may be some way off there!) whose job it is to take on the 'Woes and the miseries of mankind' ....because the story goes, 'Mankind cannot do it for itself'. If it were allowed to see / sense these for what they truly are, mankind would simply collapse under the sheer weight of it all.





Some people (men and women) find a ''pain pleasure'' in having their backside ''whacked'', and there is a pleasure in that pain ...hard to define, but enough people seem to continue searching for it to make it notable.





So, like yourself, don't let it worry you ...unless you find yourself unable to find beauty and pleasure in the regular world (so to speak)





Take care ~ and use what you see.

I find death, pain, sorrow, blood you name it beautiful. its a magnet to me. I love it. there isn't anything wrong with finding beauty in dark things like that. it just means you are very emotional and sensitive. (No, I didn't call you emo. I'm very emotional and I'm not emo.) What most people find dark, evil, terrible, and sad, we find interesting and true beauty in life. the life cycle is a very amusing thing to me. you're not a freak. You're just optimistic. you enjoy both sides of life. hope I helped you.

Human beings have always found beauty in the shadows cast by Life and Death. It's the poignancy that attracts us...
You might be Russian.
I don't think so. That actually must make you a very good poet. ;)
