"Have you ever felt as if there are tears just filling you inside as if they will melt and will drown your entire being.....you have this great desire to lighten yourself by shedding all of them but then they don't come because somewhere you know the futility of all."
Sadness or pathos is an emotion which has a romanticism associated with it, the world has always glamorised the under dog. But I believe that man is basically selfish and seeks only pleasure and even when we choose to be sad it is because it gives us pleasure to feel sad, it gives us relief to cry to tell how we have gone through a lot. Mourning for a dear one, when you can think of all those pleasurable times with him/her gives happiness, or for that matter just sitting and thinking about someone whom we once loved and how we felt at that point of time fills our heart with joy since it is easier to miss the days gone by rather than stand up an face today.
As people we are born with this lust for pleasure through out our life and the "navrasa" as they are called give us pleasure in one way or the other at various points of times in our lives .....just think about this next time when you are sad and you would know what I am talking about....I call it "the aspirational state of being sad"
