Sadness looms deeper if it lingers. Some thoughts on sadness.

The saddest of all things is when we are sad without any way out of our sadness.
We seem to be locked into it, and the key is not to be found.
The way out then is to find the key, and it is always waiting for you around the neck of God.
Go to God, feel his love, and move from your sadness into a joyous relationship with God instead.
Senryu: Sadness saddens
Sadness rested love.
I felt the pain of absence.
and Love felt it too.
"What brings us to tears, will lead us to grace. Our pain is never wasted."
The American writer, Bob Gof, said this.
Pain lifts us up, when we realise it serves its purpose in us.
Pain can open the door of our heart to love, and pain can close the door of our heart to love.
Sadness is the door. Pain is the key in that door.
Sadness is the rim around love's coin. Sadness gives love its thickness.

Sadness is often just absenced love.

i realize that all of us face sadness. it is the counterforce to life itself. we, in existing, will encounter sadness but I do believe sadness is sometimes different than what we see.
Sadness is in the end knowing what we do is less than what is possible.

So, we are always holding the short end of the stick then, but if we realise that the stick is just relative, to the amount of love that we infuse it with, we will embrace the stick, sadness, and love too, altogether blended together then, as one.
We will see God, in all things, even in sadness.

@innertalks or if we take the broader view of this, sadness represents the love not found or the love lost. (Lost in that the direct love from a person is taken).
sadness is interesting for it brings both pain and relief.

@innertalks it is in my hodge-podge spirituality, a core belief for me. i just wonder how many pieces of me are gone now!

I believe I won't get over it. Mom's took a piece of our heart to heaven with them. The pain is less as time goes on, but sadness remains. Reading your post is just what I needed. Though I know I'm I must live on, and laugh at comedy movies, will always miss her.
My colleague, said, write a journal like you're talking to her. This helps me a lot.

@oahuwriter Yes, I will never stop missing my mother either.
I have seen her in the occasional dream, but it's not the same, as when she was here.

Every emotion has a role to play in making us whole, a complete package.
We should not delve into and stay in sadness but find a way out by going to the root of its cause.
I have sought solace in sadness and even in pain but I don't dwell in them. Then our time is wasted.
We can learn from them as to how others feel when in a similar plight and then help them too in getting out of the rut.
Yes, sadness should be overcome with love and in taking our creator on board and even not letting him go either in sadness or happiness.

Nicely phrased, siva.
Balance versus obsession raises its head again here too.
As soon as we become stuck in something, over-obsessed with it, we lose our balance on the balance beam of love, then too.

@Shiva49 Yes, if we do not keep ourselves in balance, something might happen to force the balance to happen again. God seems to enjoy balance.

@innertalks I recall when we managed to reach our cargo to the port just in time and got the good news the container was loaded. We shared that with our anxious customer and felt really good about it.
Soon reality stared at us. The ship captain wanted to unload our container to maintain the stability of the vessel, The ubiquitous balance issue had kicked in.
Likewise, we could be ejected too to maintain overall balance as the ship with others sails on towards its onward journey without us, a sobering thought indeed! Yes, the sun will rise without us too!

Do all thinks come and go and are passing then, or do some things perpetually stay around in existence, like the energy of love?
Perhaps sadness is a state that we enter into, but the energy state of sadness always exists, and it is more that we that come and go within its energy field, by entering it when we need to experience that energy frequency within us to grow us from that positional position.

sadness is just absence of love.. can't agree more.

Yes, absence of love, or separation from love too, I might add.
