The Night Shall Pass..

Why does Sadness feel good? Does sadness make you closer to God? as it makes you feel humble..small, and to an extent lonely..when your mind and your heart alternate control over your existence.

Sadness is my friend, he visits me at night, discreetly..and takes over me, he takes me places, brings me people..and then leaves, as I find my way back through the darkness. Sadness is good..every once in a while..it keeps your senses heightened, as you face your days, it gives you a sense of justice, makes sure you treat people well, makes you smile in people's faces as you greet them in the morning, it makes you give..rather than just take, giving makes you feel better, it seasons your sadness, it gives it a boost as you feel your humanity, in this day and age of individualism and selfishness.

Sadness lends delicacy to emotions, it makes you patient, compassionate, giving, forgiving..it makes you transparent, takes away all the masks of modern day life..and brings you back down to the basic elements of your existence..it reminds you of others..makes you generous, altruistic..as you ponder on the misfortunes of others, their plight, their destitution and sorrow, and their own reasons for sadness.

Sadness..is a heavy guest, but he's meant to be that way..so as his effect when he leaves is never forgotten, lest you forget to be delicate in your emotions when you're on top of the world..look down at those who are sad..and delicate in their emotions as they look down at those who are below them..as those seek comfort from above.
