Sadness is the truest form of existence.

Everything we do, is to try and escape from being natural, sad. Family, Friendship, Love, Career, we dedicate our lives to these efforts to escape the sadness.

Nobody wants to be sad, in trying to escape from it, we, without our knowledge build up some expectations, hopes and aspirations. The image of achieving them gives us momentary sense of comfort, but when they fall short, we return to where it all started.

Sadness is always lurking in the background and will sneak in easily. Happiness is fragile. We don't need a reason to be sad, we are sad by default, so just be.

We need a reason to smile and be happy. We have to strive for it and cherish every moment of it.
