I sometimes wonder why we are so terrified of being sad or lonely or both. Many people, well-meaning I am sure, but due to ignorance or just not having the time to really listen would often dismiss someone who is sad or lonely as 'needing help'. Now, dare I suggest, what if Sadness is good for us? I once heard a very engaging, influential and inspiring preacher from Florida say that, " Creative people are melancholic " he went on to say that he rarely wakes up in the morning and say to himself, ' whew! whatta a great morning LORD! I am readdddeh!" according to him, its more of, " O Lord, Help me today I really dont feel good ".
Do we really have to be happy to be joyful? oh boy oh boy. Just yesterday I came across a quote that hit a spot bulls-eye. " It is a quote by Gale Webber from a book by M. Scott Peck (author of Road Less Traveled),
'The further one grows spiritually. The more and more people one loves and the fewer and fewer people one likes'
