I do not think that those who have made Literature rise and develop and still be kept for us to learn, read about, study or even make videos as such about are a failure, it is absolutely the opposite. To make a writing, a poem, a masterpiece is to become the feeling itself. All they had endured of miseries and failures in their own lives were merely the engine, the magic portion to help them write genuine things. Some have even dared taking opium only to be at that rare state where one's soul is floating in a celestial mixture of emotions and feelings and that only wants to be put on paper. The problem with us today is that we don't understand nor feel what is true, real and genuine, feelings themselves had ditched us.
