It will only do damage to you if you don't find an outlet for it, ie the works of art you guys mentioned. My theory is Epigenetic-trauma due to a literal historical lifetime of constant warfare, genocides, invasions and annexations in that area of Europe. It has fucked with the genes of the people resulting in them becoming perpetually alert and encouraging the adoption of heavy analytical thinking to try prevent these things from happening again, resulting in the obsessions seen with certain topics. These tend to come out as personal values that result in different areas of obsession, some art, some politics, etc. But you can see it in the general Polish attitude towards life, well at least on my end. Essentially it's similar to general anxiety, however, I believe it has become ingrained genetically.
