Was Van Gogh s life a success?

I think that this kind of life is not successful, a person's success or not does not depend on how much role he will play to himself or society in the future, if a person's contribution can not adapt to the social reality of the time and people's general thinking, such a contribution is meaningless to people, at least for the present.

Our current social thinking or mainstream is the reality, that is, whether you are helping yourself or others at your current age, like Van Gogh, it can also be said that his thinking is too advanced, so that the crowd cannot accept it, can such a life still be called successful?

In this way, the two of us have the same idea!

So be it.

As you said, the meaning of life lies in the contribution to society.

Man, do a great thing in your life, Van Gogh, at least the soul has been sublimated, and even he can be said.

He was rich, because his greatest wealth was spiritual wealth. I am also a person who is struggling, preparing to take next year's college entrance examination, I just want to tell you, no matter what, no matter in any way, be a man, you must continue to improve yourself! Thank you.

Thank you for your support. Hey.

If measured by the amount of money he has acquired, Van Gogh is a complete failure in life.

If measured by the depth of self-realization, Van Gogh was a thoroughly successful life.

There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, and different values will have different views, some people pursue fame and fortune in front of them, and some people pursue celebrities after death. There is no standard answer, only the pursuit of the heart.

Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) was one of the main members of the Dutch Post-Impressionist School and a star of the world painting scene. But a hundred years ago, Van Gogh's life was bumpy. He only began painting at the age of 27, worked as a shop clerk and missionary, and later, with the help of his brother Theo, he devoted himself to art, creating the most brilliant achievements in the last two years of his life.

Van Gogh and even his work are not easily understood. Because in real life, it is impossible to accommodate such a "madman" and "painting". However, he only relied on diligent sketching and creation, relying on colors and brushstrokes to pour out his true feelings and inner world.

Van Gogh's tragic and short life as an artist.
