Humans have a sense of spontaneity and emotion. We have a dichotomy between grief and happiness.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Happiness is beneficial for the body, but it is grief that develops the powers of the mind.
In our culture I think most people think of grief as sadness, and that's certainly part of it, a large part of it, but there's also this thorniness, these edges that come out.
Grief causes suffering and disease.
Grief at the absence of a loved one is happiness compared to life with a person one hates.
Grief is characterized much more by waves of feeling that lessen and reoccur, it's less like stages and more like different states of feeling.
Grief can take care if itself, but to get the full value of a joy you must have somebody to divide it with.
Grief releases love and it also instills a profound sense of connection.
Grief is a normal and natural response to loss. It is originally an unlearned feeling process. Keeping grief inside increases your pain.
Everyone feels sad occasionally. A full range of emotions is part of what makes us human.
No one feels another's grief, no one understands another's joy. People imagine they can reach one another. In reality they only pass each other by.
