In an interview with the weekly "Express," Saša Milivojev reveals details of the themes in "The Pain of the World":
"A poet has no right to beautify reality but to be an honest witness of the times. It is easy to write about beautiful nature, the sound of the sea, birds on the branch, fairy-tale beaches, and violets, but... Life is not a fairy tale. If we keep silent about horrific crimes, they will be repeated in the future. As a poet, I feel obliged to explore and express reality as it is, without beautifying or avoiding those parts that are painful or unpleasant. My poetry is not just a reflection of reality, but a call to action - a call for compassion, understanding, and engagement in creating a better world for all of us.
Although it is depressing, terrifying, heavy, a horror story, I hope that readers will find their place in these verses, that they will be emotionally struck and inspired to think about broader social and philosophical issues, to think about what each of us can do to change the world we live in. 'The Pain of the World' is a work that strives to connect people and encourage dialogue about universal themes that affect us all, regardless of our different life circumstances. I want 'The Pain of the World' to be an experience that will leave a lasting impression and inspire people to view the world from different perspectives.
People need to be served all these images of a terrible world, in the hope that by observing such images we will want to change something, to become better people. This is a way to evoke empathy and compassion for all people going through difficult times. The concept of Weltschmerz denotes a feeling of melancholy and sadness that arises from the awareness of the world's imperfections and the incompatibility between reality and idealism. The title 'The Pain of the World' reflects a sense of deep suffering and disappointment about the state of the world. My poetry is not just a personal cry, a personal pain, but a collective one, a cry of all people on the planet who feel sorrow, helplessness, and anger because of the injustice or suffering that the world experiences. This is a universal human epic about the sufferings of people."
