Sadness

Definition "aemotions experienced when not in a state of well-being"

Well isn't that the truth?

I don't actually know why people say that, it just sounds fun and thought I would use it.

The point is that depression is not cool. But then again, these days, what is, expect lions dressed as rabbits to hunt in stealth mode!! Everyone would love that and know it was a cool idea.

But anyway, a lot of big science nerds think of emotions as chemical reactions in our bodies that make us think that we are feeling, but we are actually just producing some hormone.

The question I put to you sciencey people is, why are we all of a sudden producing this hormone that makes us feel this way at this time. Personally, I think you have your cause and effect the wrong way around, we produce these things because of the fact that we are feeling whatever we are feeling.

Maybe billions of years of evolution could stop us feeling sad, by produce the happy hormones when we are sad, what a good idea, I had best get on to Darwin, to see if he can make it happen.

Anyway, the point is emotions are a terribly wonderfully horribly great thing to have. If we didn't have emotions, what would be the point in being? The human experience would barely be an experience anymore.

Does the good outway the bad? Well it must do, otherwise we would have been extinct. If the sad times outweighed the bad, we would all be sitting on our bums sobbing, not gathering food, and die out. So the good times are good enough to make us keep on living, which is what we need, something to keep us going.

The imagination of a future full of happiness and fun times is what we like to expect, and some of us get it, we reach out highest of high dreams. But even if we just fulfil some of our aspirations, we feel content in the fact that we have done something.

Even though we may hit some speedbumps along the way, we will almost always pick ourselves up.

When I feel down, I think about the following, so whenever you are not so happy, ponder it for a bit, and things might start to fall into place.
