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.
