Must an artist suffer from overwhelming emotions and thoughts just so people can say that their art has meaning?

Must an artist suffer from an artistic need that will never be fully fulfilled just so people can say they are creative?

Must an artist suffer from long hours on a piece to only satisfy the needs of the public but their own?

They say the greatest artists suffer for their work, well wouldn't that make us all great artists then?
Don't mind me just getting out some thoughts out of my head but it is a good point though if all great artist must suffer for their work just so they can be called great and be noticed, well won't that make us all great artists?

Think about it we have are own art, our own styles, different people have witnessed our art one way or another, people have given us both positive and negative feedback on our work, and we all struggle with life in our way. So wouldn't all these things make as all great suffering artists?

Any form of feedback is always appreciated and I hope you all enjoy! :meow:
