Interesting thought. Where should the balance be between sad and happy? How much sad is acceptable? Surely we can't be happy all the time?

@PeachyK I think it's personal and balance varies from person to person. Life is an emotional rollercoaster.

@PeachyK I think the 'sadness' that @sutten is writing about is more unresolved grief than the sadness a person feels about a lost opportunity. Sometimes the grieving process (it is a process) takes a long time and sometimes 'somebody' or 'something' happens that interrupts or diminishes the significance of that grief, e.g., it might be something as simple as someone saying, "You will always miss him/her, but it's time for you to let go." - When in reality, you need more time. Grief counselling can help when you just can't 'let it go.'

@JollyRoger Correct :)

@Sutten 🤔sadness in peoples heart because of terrible things and as lot do not treat this hurt as a sort of badge of honour. i can say this from experience as last sunday it was eleven years to the right day since we lost dad . i had issues with him so when this time comes around his birthday fathers day i really feel the pain

That’s something I can really relate to; with the loss of my spouse and child. I often see elderly couples or young men who would be my son’s age now.
