WHY DO YOU GET SAD SOMETIMES? January 4, 2006 3:46 a.m.

Often times, it’s the things on the last page. I’d like to wave a magic wand and not let another be sad in any way, have no one feel pain or misery. But its those times that keep us stronger, alert, aware and genuinely appreciative of who we have in our lives. What we’ve gone through together and where we stand in each others future. I feel sad that there are people who are unaware of their surroundings and not really living a true life by opening their hearts to so much than their closed worlds. I’m sad at the idea sometimes that I have a bed of my own and other material possessions knowing there are many people in our world who lack common day living necessities. I’m sad that there are actual wars, bombings, shootings, murders, rapes, tortures, ignorance, competitions, jealousy, greed, affairs, divorces, adultery- well sex at young ages too, drownings, car accidents, domination control, territorial control, home invasions over animal kingdom and sudden deaths. I think there are numerous reasons to why things happen. One country wants to control another and become richer, political chaos corrupted the population, molestation continues down generations, drug/alcohol messes up your over all judgments, world domination tries to be enforced- well a huge mixture. Sad movies, happy events in life and certain things also make me sad. I’m sad I can’t change the world to a peaceful, colorful butterfly. I’m sad you’re sad. I’m sad I’m not at all perfect. I’m judgmental, easy to think the worst, crabby some days and a little uncaring. I’m sad David doesn’t like to listen to music joyously, sad he doesn’t’ like my family around a lot, that he won’t get a nice car, that he’s weird about money, that he’s pushy and hurts my feelings when he does so and that he suffocates me at times. I want him to like my family being around a lot more. So all around I have my days where I can be sad but realize that things make you stronger and make you grow to an adult that loves and cares. Often you look back and think it was silly too!!
