River Esk - into the sea

Fresh air is always good.

Why do humans crave for tragedy and sad stories? Somehow some people prefer a story where you can have a good cry over a comedy (not that I wouldn't love sniffling away at Dragonheart...). Same with music. I always loved "It can't rain all the time" from the Crow soundtrack. But why???
Just because it makes a good ending turn better as it were when there hadn't been sadness involved? Because it reminds us that after sad times there will be times when the world's better to us again?
