Empowered Happiness by LIBROTEKA

"Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows nothing of; and we often call a man cold when he is only sad." -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
With all that is going on in the world, with all the wars, natural calamities and other kinds of catastrophes befalling people, it is no wonder that many of them end up sad, or worse, even depressed.
If you are feeling depressed or sad, know that you are not alone. Everyone in the world gets sad. When you are sad, you probably feel like that sadness will last forever. But most of the time, sad feelings don't last that long: several hours, or even a day or two, probably.
Sadness, what is it?
When you feel sad, the whole world can suddenly seem unfriendly and dark to you. Inside, you feel that pain that seems to crush your spirit and your heart. Most of the time, you find yourself crying, with tears that are hard to stop. For most people, crying alone can already make them feel better. The moment the sadness begins to fade, that's the moment you feel as if the heavy, thick blanket has finally been removed from your heart, and you feel happiness again.
