Melancholy… A Part of Life

Light and darkness exist side by side. They are but two faces of a coin. Unless you know darkness you cannot appreciate light. And so sadness is… An essential part of life… A vital element.. To make you appreciate your happy moments. Like happiness sadness too should be “lived”. In moments of quiet and stillness… when you think you are lonesome and sad.. you can hear your own voice speaking to you. It is like a conversation with oneself… it is like being aware of your existence and how it matters…

When we are happy and joyful we cherish our moments. We are so much busy living “in” the moment that sometimes we forget the value of it. Sure we need happiness in our lives. We should always aim to be happy. Because when we are happy we can make others happy too. And it spreads and the world becomes a happy place!

We also need sadness and anger and fear and anxiety and mistakes to make us able to grow. When I look back at some of my mistakes I did.. I feel I could have done better. I could have handled the situation better. I am surprised why I didn’t act wisely before. Then I realize that I have grown wiser since the last mistake I made.. and that made me look back and see… It made me grow..

Disappointments can be a strength for us to inspire us to do more.. work harder.. step out of our comfort zones… it enables us to succeed further…

So we should be grateful to the negative people in our lives… that made us stronger… and better.

Embrace sadness and grow.
