Quotes about Sadness

When you get to the darkness, see in your mind what you saw in the light and keep moving to the goal and it will always be enough.

Some people do not have to search -
they find their niche early in life and rest there, seemingly contented and resigned.
They do not seem to ask much of life,
sometimes they do not seem to take it seriously.
At times I envy them,
but usually I do not understand them -
seldom do they understand me.

I am one of the searchers.
There are, I believe, millions of us.
We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore life,
hoping to uncover its ultimate secret.
We continue to explore ourselves,
hoping to understand.

We like to walk along the beach -
we are drawn by the ocean,
taken by its power, its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty.
We like forests and mountains, deserts and hidden rivers, and the lonely cities as well.

Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as is our laughter.
To share our sadness with the one we love is perhaps as great a joy as we can know -
unless it is to share our laughter.

We searchers are ambitious only for life itself,
for everything beautiful it can provide.
Most of all we want to love and be loved.
We want to live in a relationship that will not impede
our wandering, nor prevent our search, nor lock us in prison walls.

We do not want to prove ourselves to another or compete for love.
We are wanderers, dreamers and lovers,
lonely souls who dare ask of life everything good and
beautiful.

"Sometimes the completely open heart and mind of bhodichitta is called the soft spot, a place as vulnerable and tender as an open wound. It is equated, in part, with our ability to love. [...]

Sometimes this broken heart gives birth to anxiety and panic, sometimes to anger, resentment, and blame. But under the hardness of that armor there is the tenderness of genuine sadness. This is our link with all those who have ever loved. This genuine heart of sadness can teach us great compassion. It can humble us when we're arrogant and soften us when we are unkind. It awakens us when we prefer to sleep and pierces through our indifference. This continual ache of the heart is a blessing that when accepted fully can be shared with all."

Life is not about always being happy -- the art is in being able to feel connected to the Beauty of Life, even when you are sad.  And, if you can express that Beauty, other people can feel connected in a deep and meaningful way.

Every person is born paired with a spiritual self, a higher self -- some people say the Divine or the Universal Self or the Soul.  Our language reflects this:  When we are sad, our hearts need to be re-paired to our spiritual selves, "repaired".  Likewise, "dis.." and "des.." are prefixes meaning "apart" and when we lose our connection, we feel disabled, disjointed and, if it is bad enough,  despair" (apart from our pair).   So, the spiritual choice, the critical choice,  is daily re-pairing or eventual des-pairing.
