Thoughts on Sadness.

I think every human being is sad in a way. It seems impossible for happiness to exist if there is not sadness. I also believe that everyone is sad in different ways, because it seems that when one is sad they reign the anthem of  "No one understands" over and over again. I do it all the time myself. And I feel justified in it. I really feel like no one understands me, because, well they don't. I said above that everyone is sad in different ways. Emotions for each person are just as unique as the person who is sad. So even if someone has been in the same dismal situation as you, it doesn't mean they would have experienced it in the same way as you. Sadness, to me, is a whole love of perception. The way you perceive something saddening effects just how sad you are about it. And because of that no real sadness can be understood. The worst part is that in turn, sadness seems to multiply with the lack of understanding. And it's a terrible way to feel. But sadness is such a crushing feeling. It's the one thing you can't escape from. Can you imagine walking around everyday with this dark cloud clinging to you, crushing you? I'm sounding way too Charlie brown right now. And I think maybe you need sadness in order to have happiness. A lot of people say it's sad that you can't appreciate the good things unless you've had bad things. But it's good right, because you come to appreciate the good things so much more. Little things, like a sunny day or someone giving a smile become miraculous. So is it wrong that I'm willing to have sadness in my life because I want to appreciate the happier things in life. Or is it wrong to me only to notice the good after I've had the bad? I don't know. Emotions are confusing. Sadness and Happiness being the worst. I think they're the only emotions you can never purely be, you can never purely be sad or you can never purely be happy. It's impossible.

This blog was too negative. And short.
