Well, I've thought a lot about this, especially with regard to artists. In fact I was thinking of writing my senior thesis on a related topic. While I never got started with it, the basic idea I had was that artistic success requires a the full spectrum of emotions (like a piano keyboard) -- unfortunately, this means that the lowest of the low will be felt, and regrettably, acted upon sometimes.
