Dying is only one thing to be sad over... Living unhappily is something else.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Death makes us sad, but it can also make us feel more alive.
Even when a person has all of life's comforts - good food, good shelter, a companion - he or she can still become unhappy when encountering a tragic situation.
But if somebody dies, if something happens to you, there is a normal process of depression, it is part of being human, and some people view it as a learning experience etc.
Death just comes, not happiness. Because when you're trying to find happiness, you're trying to navigate a very, very murky minefield of distractions, of disappointments, of deceptions. That's why you have to work on happiness.
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
Sad things happen. They do. But we don't need to live sad forever.
Nothing is more sad than the death of an illusion.
Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.
Here is the tragedy: when you are the victim of depression, not only do you feel utterly helpless and abandoned by the world, you also know that very few people can understand, or even begin to believe, that life can be this painful.
We all have sadness in our life and things that we can draw upon.
