Sadness pertains to the state of being sad, gloomy or sorrowful. One feels sad and experiences sadness when everything is going against us, or one is dejected or neglected. Ample reasons and situations can cause sadness. But melancholy and sadness should be overcome in some manner or the other. Sadness only hinders progress and efficiency at work. A sad person cannot concentrate on anything because his min does not work at all and is bothered with the cause of his sadness. Sadness makes one grave, serious and too dejected. It halts progress and forces us to see the negative side of things rather than the brighter side. So, kill sadness or if possible, stay away from it. In the words of Percy Bysshe Shelly, “Change is certain. Peace is followed by disturbances; departure of evil men by their return. Such recurrences should not constitute occasions for sadness but realities for awareness, so that one may be happy in the interim.”
