Dear friends, this is not a new topic but as i am new here so just want to learn something more important in life " happiness and sorrow ". they both are necessary part of our life. I don't know why it happens but after some time of happiness, we have to face sorrow. in between time of happiness we forgot our bad time but when bad time starts we pray for god time to starts.

Happiness would not even feel good, if we didn't have some sadness to compare it,too... That's why poor people enjoy winning the lottery more than wealthy people do:) As well, if u will win a million dollars every day, you will get bore by the experience and run out of things to buy :)

Life is like a drama stage. There are the actresses, actors, plot, and the director. Life is to enjoy and not to suffer. Cheers!

With out one you would not have the other. So it's important to live in balance. When the sorrow comes live in each moment knowing that happiness will follow. When happiness comes enjoy each moment knowing that sorrow will come again. Because you can see the balance you will be strong. If you become truly strong you will be able to see both these emotions for what they are, just emotions. Reality has nothing to do with this, you are in charge of how you allow it to effect you.

Do you know John Demartini? That's exactly what he says. That when we keep for example too arrogant wich is one side of an extreme point we will go down to something that will make us humble again and by that as we accepted to reach that level we will be humiliated even. Happiness is the same, if we get too much sad we might get too excited, if we don't allow our selves that out of control excited we won't get deep depressed. We have to remain in balance, always, to bring us back to our center.

Life is what we make it. You can always choose how you accept things and control your actions. Of course, as we go with our daily ways, there are are always things that will affect us, but how we deal with them is what's important. If we let our emotions come in, then we will most likely feel sorrow, but if we accept things the way they are and from there find a way to solve them, then life would always be great...

Yes, I think balance is very important. I also think that without sadness we would not know true happiness. To be low down and out is one way to know the true and realistic base of all happiness. Forgetting what was just because one is happy now is preverse. Being humble is the answer and happy for what we have.

It is true that life is a series of ups and downs and I guess eventually they do finally all begin to level out. In the end it all balances out to be an even walk. But sometimes bad times last a very long time too...they build endurance. So it still works out for good!

hello friend, This is so true, but sometimes when things are bad there is something in there that you should learn, if you open yourself to learning new things even the sad things will be something we can learn from or maybe something we can teach someone else, that how I look at it. Great topic.

Yes, life is a balance. No one is happy all the tie and no one will be sad all the time. Some people will say that you need to stay cool when you are happy, and you need to stay calm when you are sad. As for me, I would laugh if I am happy and I would cry if I am sad, and I would throw tantrum if I am angry. I want to express all my feelings, so I won;t have to bottled it up in my heart.

maybe it can be called reality bites as the priest told us yesterday in our recollection,maybe it is nature of people that they only remember God in time of trials that manner makes me sad when i realize that i sometimes have done it. :(

you see what is most remembered is the sad time of our life and as we are into it,the time seems so long for it to pass and leave us. we should be thankful for the happiness but as much as we thank for the sorrowful time because there are those who remember only GOD when we are in bad fate, it is HIS way to let us feel that we have forgotten our obligation to him. Pray unceasingly.

Life is a twofold blossom of sorrow and happiness with the blossom of sorrow ever waxing the stronger. life is a absorbed once we feel sunshine,air and field .lines and colors are nonobjective concept in our life and the content aims living creation and inspiration,so sensible care and perceptive spreading come to meet each other

Hi Dear Manoj! Yes, you are right! Life is full of sorrow and happiness! There is no second opinion about that. Happiness and sorrow are two different parts of emotions which are opposite to each other and lie at two extreme ends of the scale of emotions! We are social animals and live in society. right from the time we get up and out of our bed we need to do so many things in our life before we retire again to the bed. And every attempt we make or work we do have two things as sequelae, either a success or failure. Since we know that every time we can't have success in our life in every work we attempt. we can have failures in them. We associate success with happiness and failure with sorrows! This is very common when ever we have achieved anything in our life in any form , may it be accomplishing a task, or getting some thing, getting some good feelings etc. we become very happy as we have a kind of hormones which are responsible for keeping us happy flow in our body. similarly when ever we face any failure, or get any unpleasant situation our body gets under the influence of different type of hormones which keeps us unhappy or sorrow! Thus every time we are either happy or sorrow, as these are two faces of the coin of life's emotions. But we need to remember that in life we can't enjoy the brightness in absence of darkness! Darkness only makes us the importance of the brightness. The the darkness of the night only makes us the importance of brilliance of day time! Thus to realise the importance of happiness we should realise the feelings of sorrows! Thus sorrows makes us to understand the importance of happiness! Thus in my opinion happiness and sorrow are two faces of the coin in life and we have to face them and have a balance between the two as both these emotions are indispensable parts of our life's emotions! Thanks for responding!

I ask myself the same question why is it that we cannot have happiness all the time. Somehow we do need to balance out the sorrow days so that the happiness weigh much more the the sad ones. It is hard to really answer as to why but surely when the onset of sorrow occurs we do have to find strength and try to turn it around somehow into happiness. Balancing the two certainly would give us some peace of mind because way too much sorrow will not allow us to appreciate the happy times.

Dear friend why you put again and again in all discussion I am a new here I am a new year this is my observation on your words Yes happiness and sorrow both are necessary in life because If one thing is constant in our life then we will bored so god balancing both it very well. I observed that when a person sorrow then he remember the God again and again but if they are happy then never remember the God and God knows these things so they give both. No one can satisfied from life like If I have a Scooty Pep Plus vehicle then I wants to purchase a nano car but not satisfied with scooty so our requirements are increased day by day.

A little bit of happiness! Life is surprises us every day, every step you make. It keeps us away somewhere in a distant place and no one knew the so-called "surprises". Yes, but life can offer us such unexpected gifts ... Only we can remove it from the banal and humdrum days. There are times when you press the banality of day becoming stronger, the days seemed to flow out of growing slowly, sank the tick of the clock seems to us intolerable, and the world seems to be spinning around us, and we stand still, then unsuspected to make a visit. Overcome difficult moments with heavy, cumbersome, impregnated with disbelief, sadness, fatigue, but life helps us get through these moments, giving us something extra. Thank you for that dear life!You got me out of obscurity banality, the sensation that everything around is crumbling slowly. Now I realize that in fact what I felt did not conform with reality, there was something inside, I felt something only a maze inside. A maze that I finally found out, luckily. After many trials of life, moments after heavy, heavy I also offer joy. So it is normal to happen. So life is too complex to understand it, full of unusual. With all can be removed from our world steeped bitterness, and patience that only time can fix it, but it is essential that happens, especially when you least expect it. Yes, good things happen when you least expect it. It's a paradox really a paradox but that happens to each of us.
