Sadness

"Happiness is something that we can only pursue and maybe we can actually never have it."-Chris Gardner

Happiness, this is one elusive emotion.Every soul in the world, be it human or animal desires to be happy.Every step taken by them in their life is a step towards achieving the sublime satisfaction of being happy.But not everyone reaches there.The train to happiness station is more often than not derailed in a very gruesome way.And not many have the courage to see through it.That's what makes it so rare to see a truly happy person.But according to the Law of the Universe,everything has an opposite.And the opposite of happiness is Sadness.
Sadness is something no one pursues but everyone has to pass by it in the eternal pursuit of happiness.It is the most lingering and one of the most emotionally wrecking feeling.It is felt on many occassions but none is as bad as the sadness you feel when someone really close to you leaves you and you cant do anything about it but watch.
It kills when suddenly you wake up and see your place taken by someone else,the pang of jealousy,the outburst of hatred and the desire to kill, they are the feelings everyone goes through but not the ones they would be proud of.
Sadness is the epitome of misery and suffering.Heartbreak being the leading source of sadness.It is often said that only time can heal a broken heart, but more often than not even time is an incompetent cure.
Only is they would understand,its not the person but the circumstances that make us what we are and forces us to take certain steps, but sadness is the monster that feasts on such occasions.Sadness, the most common and the most deadly feeling,beware of it.
But there is one remedy,be happy.No matter how much pain sadness throws at you, take it as a reward,because only the strongest and the bravest suffer the most.And after the night comes the dawn,when the pursuit finally turns into achievement.And no other achievement is as great as that of happiness..
