There are like a million quotes marketing for this frivolous human emotion called happiness. “Smile”…a curve that can set a lot of things straight. Fewer muscles are required for a smile than for a frown. Ya right! like we need more excuses to avoid exercise.
Sadness or grief is like an orphaned child, terribly under rated. To me sadness is like a weekend. You need this after a mundane long week. It gets you in touch with his cousins…anger, hatred, jealously, selfishness. Imagine a world without all of these, Duryodhana would have been more than happy to part his share with the pandavas, Shakuni need not have rolled the die the way he did, Hitler might have established caring centers for the jews and the Indian bowers would be more than satisfied bowling full tosses and half volleys to the Paki batsmen (some might argue that they still do).
On a serious note, a tear shed can bring a bonding that no other emotion can. Sadness is an eye opener to lot other otherwise innocuous things. A person enjoying unadulterated, uninterrupted happiness can infact go completely oblivious to various other facets in life.
Wish writers across the world would read this blog and hence forth have fairy tales that end…and they lived sadly ever after.

thnx 4 droppin in acomment inmy post ,,. do keep postin too
thanks Meena...
well ya i used to feel the same way!
that sadness, grief , sorrow are under-rated - i can connect with you on that... (when happy and sad are both emotions)
but somewhere the acceptance of sadness, grief and happiness as simply emotions is overlooked..
manytimes we forget to learn from what our own sadness , melancholies and pains want to say..
rest all said and done i dont mind the addiction to happiness
if dat is possible .. i know am a lil biased today!(like every other day) :-))
