We choose our joys and our sorrows long before we experience them.

By the way, this is not a woe-is-me story, but rather an honest account of my experience and I am not alone with a story like this.

Even in earthly terms it can be fairly sad that if you have a passion for nothing, you haveno life at all.

The decision-makers in our studies are completely unaware that the sadness is impacting them.

Our beloveds hold great significance for us and this makes these people a source of both great happiness and deep sadness; they can bring us great joy, but they can also hurt us deeply.
