I Changed When I Learned The Truth

The problem is not feeling sad; the problem is thinking that feeling sad is a problem.

Well... I wouldn't say it's a good thing unless it's only temporary.

@Reject but wouldn’t you say the same thing about happiness?

Reject · 26-30, M

@Pichu Happiness is something that never becomes a problem. Sadness does once it turns into depression.

@Reject too much of any emotion is a problem I think. How do you know if you are ever really happy if you’re never anything less?

@Pichu It's not possible to find someone who's never experienced anything less than happiness. Everyone has been sad before. It's a natural primary emotion. Built into your biology. Happiness is the same way, but it doesn't ever become a problem because it's what you feel when everything in life is going well enough.
