Human anguish

It just occurred to me, in unlikely circumstances soon to be revealed, that the predominate theme in all the arts in all times, at least in the West, has been human anguish, the profoundly sad expression of sudden understanding that the immediate reality is unfulfilling at best and painful at worst ... that this human experiment, in both large and personal perspectives, is a failure. And this came to me while listening to Rock & Roll Lullaby by The Belmonts a capella. Go figure.
