Happy to be sad πŸ˜ƒ


I was watching the movie ‘Inside Out’ yesterday and realised the importance of both joy and sadness. Joy has no value if sadness is not experienced. Being together with someone has no value if you don’t know what’s it to be alone. Each state that we experience has its own beauty to it. That’s what makes life beautiful. But why is it that we suffer when we are sad or alone? It’s not because of sadness or being alone, it’s because of what we tell to ourselves about ourself and others that makes us suffer. Sentences like ‘I am not worthy’, ‘I’m incapable’ or ‘No body loves me’ make us suffer. Even though  none of this is true, it occurs so real to us when we are sad. 

So what we need to give up are those conversations. Then even being sad would be fine for you. At least I’ve started to be ‘happy to be sad’ πŸ˜ƒ. Isn’t that amazing? 

A happy day to you all

  1. Thank you for the thought provoking question. Happy to be sad needs a broader sense of acceptability, takes presence of consideration to just figure out the moments to declare these words. Tricky I would say.
