and even makes a case for its usefulness. Lesson by Courtney Stephens Klassisk: Life was based around if your friend got eaten by a bear you'd be sad for cavemen time, and most likely people would collaborate with you to address your sadness building new relationships with new people though we can be sad about a friend dying or a family member dying and we often always remember them for who they were and what they did for us, but inevitably humans move on. We're pretty mentally tough without even realizing it, in today's society we get sad when someone we love is diagnosed with cancer or a disease or something incurable though sadness isn't a great feeling we all need it to survive. Living in a world without sadness sounds great until you realize that love could entirely be faked, and heart break would be nonexistent. Sounds great but we adapt through learning everyone has a first girlfriend/boyfriend and 90% of the time they'll breakup within a first few years or even few months, but you'll soon get over it and realize that you genuinely learned more about yourself, and what you enjoy, and what you don't enjoy. Sadness is what creates happiness without sadness our whole lives would be lies, just like how people can cry from happiness we need sadness to be happy.

Without ever feeling sad you will never feel what is happiness, basicly the universe can only exist if the light and the dark both exist, take an example from planet that orbit dwarve stars the does not rotate in place one place will always be noon and one place will always be night without night you'll ve burning alive, and without noon you'll freeze to death, I love the fact that the universe always tries to teach us what they truly are

I dont think the role of sadness and withdrawing from people is to 'strengthen social bonds, necessary for cavemen'. I think your mind and body isolate you so that you can work through your problems and enact a meaningful change within yourself, so that you can grow and experience life more fully. sadly, (lol) scientists today are so focused on the minute chemical details of things that they lose the big picture

if you dont experience sadness then you can not fully experience happiness, in quite the same way you cant fully experience a Saturday if you only live its wild nights and never its sunny afternoon. Night and day complete each other into a 24 hour day and sadness and happiness complete emotions.

In some people I have found it to be interfering with their productivity as it's too constant & interrupts focus. Making them at times, too overwhelmed & reactive to everyone & everything being said
Around them ) I think this definition is not complete.

Depression and melancholy often get mixed up. But while melancholy can be quite a colorful and emotional state, depression is the absence of emotion. At least that is my understanding. Melancholy should become better understood by society.

I have this feeling where I am constantly sad and the way I cure this is by releasing my emotions alone, by spending time alone and reflecting on myself. I sometimes cry while staring at sunsets. And in this way i find peace and calmness

I think the strongest melancholy Ive ever felt was right after a concert. Feeling incredibly sad that its over, but at the same time also extremely euphoric.
