The surprising gift of sadness
Did you know that holding sadness enables us to feel another’s pain?
It’s called compassion.
Because without compassion, our threads of connection are weak indeed.
And therefore, we also lose out on joy.
What a stunning cycle.
Hidden in plain sight in a world that only wants to hear individual positivity.
