Hi, thanks for the responses. I just re-read my original post and thought I should clarify it a bit. I probably shouldn’t have used the word ‘shit’, coz I don’t mean to criticise anyone’s positive quote/image to live life by. Mine belongs in that category.

Also, I’m not actually planning anything along these lines. It just made me think, and I wondered if there were any stories like your ex’s, ArniVidar, or opinions like yours, SRR. Thanks again for those.

I guess it’s a fine line between quotes/images of a hard times but with inspirational meaning to the owner (like mine) and something that just reminds the owner of the hard times without any positive message. There is plenty of art, literature and music that is just sad but beautiful, though. I guess ‘poignant’ is what I’m thinking of.
