“You who have never “been there” in the throes of grief, have no idea what is going on inside the head of the grieving spouse: the scattered thoughts, the constant worry that we will forget something or someone in our fog-induced state, that strange feeling of not quite “being all there” when out in social situations, the pall that covers everything, like a cloak of sadness that never lifts.” IdeasStatesFeelingsSocialForgetGriefSituationWorrySadnessStrangeConstantLiftsNo IdeaGrievingSpouseFogCloaks Author:Mary Potter

“From personal experience, I completely agree that it is often easier to go for monotone sadness. When I was starting out, I wrote a gazillion short stories that ran the gamut of human suffering - drug addiction, child abuse, terminal illness, loved ones dying by all manner of misfortune, etc. In hindsight, it's clear that I mistook the power of the situation for the power of the story.” HumansChildrenStoriesSufferingSituationClearSadnessDyingEasierDrugAbuseAgreeAddictionStartingIllnessRanEtcMisfortunesShort StoryLoved OnesChild AbusePersonal ExperiencesDrug AddictionHindsightDrug AddictStarting OutTerminalHuman SufferingTerminal IllnessLoved One Dying Author:Anthony Marra

“I never try and force-feed any song idea or lyrical message. It's really what's on my mind and what comes out of me.

“Prayer and encouraging words change things. We're all human. We all go through stuff. The hardest part about being a celebrity is having to heal on a public stage. That's the worst. Imagine going through a scandal, or a divorce, or a death in the family, and running into fans on the street. Because of where my heart is, my instinct is to put my sadness aside, and give them a smile or a hug, no matter how bad I'm feeling. And the appreciation of fans can refuel your spiritual tank in those situations.

“I didn't like the way I looked, the way I dressed and moved, what I achieved and what I felt I was worth. But there was so much energy in me, such belief that one day I'd be handsome and clever and superior and admired, such anticipation when I met new people and new situations. Is that what makes me sad? The eagerness and belief that filled me then and exacted a pledge from life that life could never fulfill? Sometimes I see the same eagerness and belief in the faces of children and teenagers and the sight brings back the same sadness I feel in remembering myself.” PeopleWayFeelsChildrenSometimesRememberFacesBeliefEnergyFeltSituationSadnessMetsOne DaySightMovedFilledCleverSuperiorsTeenagerAnticipationHandsomePledgeEagernessNew Situations Book:The Reader Source: The Reader

“These are the only two situations possible, and you are in the sad situation. Everybody may know about you - who you are - but you yourself are completely oblivious of your transcendence, of your real nature, of your authentic being. This is the only sadness in life. You can find many excuses, but the real sadness is this: you don't know who you are. How can a person be happy not knowing who he is, not knowing from where he comes, not knowing where he is going?

“Anger is active sadness; sadness is inactive anger. They are not two things. Watch your own behaviour. When do you find yourself sad? You find yourself sad only in situations where you cannot be angry. The boss in the office says something and you cannot be angry; it is uneconomical. You cannot be angry and you have to go on smiling - then you become sad. The energy has become inactive.

“But love is always new. Regardless of whether we love once, twice, or a dozen times in our life, we always face a brand-new situation.
