Yes I do get sad from time to time. No I'm not going to slit my wrists or drive off a bridge. I think we all get sad. And if you don't get sad, I think something is wrong with you. Sorry, just my personal opinion. Sadness is a very basic human emotion. It's something that we first experience as a child and never really quite know how to handle that emotion. How do I explain to my five year old son on how he should handle sadness. "Some Chick" told me to look towards the future because the sun will come out in the morning. And even though she used a metaphor, relating the sun to joy, she was quite right. See no matter how you feel, the sun always rises in the morning. No matter how upset you are, time always progresses. No matter who is born, or who dies, time never stays still. And if you're going to live in this big, bad world, you must realize that the only way to truly succeed is to make the most of that time. And yes we are all guilty of squandering time. Some days we waste our time doing nothing, and some days we waste it feeling sad and depressed. Some days we sleep away, and some days we do nothing proactive. Some days we are soooo lazy that we don't really leave our house and get out of bed. But personally, I never thought rest was a waste of time. It's a part of life. Like breathing and eating. And whenever, I feel sad, I get rest. It seems to repair my breaking heart and heavy mind. I'm blessed to find solitude in sleep. Some find it in bottles and pills, charge cards, casinos, or on the corner, me, I find it in rest. I went to bed early last night. And when I woke up, guess what? The sun was shining!
