If It Makes You Sad, Be Glad You’re Alive
How Our Sorrow Sows Our Story
Quote to Conversation: Bow to Your Sorrow For That is the Answer to Your Tomorrow
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight — Kahlil Gibran
We like be to believe that sadness is a disease, while it’s really relief from our grief. Our sorrow is a state of flow that takes us from the blossoms of our glow to the bottoms from we grow.
When everything fails to fill our heart with life’s fuel, it’s our sorrow that empowers what makes us humanity’s greatest fool. It’s such a grounded feeling that takes us back to reality. That we are only temporary in this life that feels like an infinite treasury. But the real riches lie beyond our reaches. They are ones we can’t stumble upon through sheer will, but those we chance upon because we connect with what we truly want.
