Anyone who has known happiness will never again be able humbly to accept sadness.

Being happy makes a poor prisoner feel like a king; being sad makes rich king feel like a prisoner.
Thank you, Thelma.
I came here to ask- “How?”
I have my answer.
Yes, dear Hernan Vilar, I agree with you and I know that sadness and darkness are inevitable in our cosmos of .. separateness, but the ‘knowledge’ of the Light is that makes us .. dream again and enable us to …re -start the fight towards the Light. The memory of….ecstasy and the knowledge of its existence.
LOVE,
Thelma
hernan ,
While knowing the suffering one “sees” the importance of the value of the enjoyments.
While knowing the death one “sees” the importance of the life and to live.
While knowing the evil one “sees” the good.
While knowing the absence one enjoy accurately the presence.
While knowing the sadness one “sees” even more the importance to keep the love in our heart and to love so the others
hope , faith , love and LIFE
Yes Annie, yes: always fight for going towards the “beautiful”, the Life
No. I disagree once again. There is a lesson in everything, every day, in happiness and in sadness. By choosing one lesson, another will be left out. In the search for balance, the universe will eventually force us to go through that lesson we left out.
Accept everything for everything is sacred and therefore deserved.
It is not passion that makes us move forward. We must not be afraid to face sadness or darkness (Dear Thelma).
Let there be light.
Hernán Vilar
i like this ‘proverb’ – but i think it is also important to honour the gravity of sadness as the occasion demands…
it used to annoy me so much when people would say to me “cheer up love, it might never happen”
to which you wonder why the other person thinks that your day is necessarily going as great as their day …
i wish i had said each time, “it did happen”…
im sure i have much to learn about the quote you wrote..
and i look forward to understanding it more!
Real true!
Sefer JAN – thanks for your post.
The irony of the effect of happiness on one’s state of being.
If I could literally have an out of body experience and view my perspective of happiness from the other side, I wonder if sadness would be looking back at me.
happiness is a choice, once we learn that and we find our path to that happy life and moments,,, its in our blood and we will alwys look for the happy side of the road… at least thats my point of view,,, and i am happy,,,,between all the world around us. i still fine the glass half full.
lets have a happy moment now and we’ll put it in our daily basis
so happy day !!!!
I think a part of being humble is accepting both happiness and sadness into one’s life. One who has experienced true happiness and is humble in his journey also accepts sadness as something that is necessary in order to grow spiritually. This person also has faith that the sadness will pass in time and lead them to an even greater happiness. We are blessed to be able to feel emotions because only when we experience true emotion in all forms will we be able to connect and empathise with our fellow humans.

Why,thats simply natural thing.Of course we want the best…
To know happiness and being in the Light will never allow us accept ..darkness. Our souls with the memory and knowledge of .. ecstasy will always long of experiencing it again, never accepting sadness to overcome us.
LOVE,
Thelma
Being happy makes a poor prisoner feel like a king; being sad makes rich king feel like a prisoner.
If regrettably… humble in front of the offered happiness, and also in front of the sadness …thus to be able to give ” the forgiveness ” (I do not say that it is the easiest way, but one needs)
