IMHO, personal suffering isn't required, but if one can't open oneself
to what 
goes on, one loses perspective and material.  Songwriting can be as much 
painting as anything else and all visions do not come from within, but
are 
reflections.  It is the clear ocean that most clearly reflects the moon
