Act

"As a confirmed melancholic. I can testify that the best and maybe only antidote for melancholia is action. However, like melancholics, I suffer also from sloth." - Edward Abbey Do not give in. Do not give up. Go.

Joy and Sadness

"Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." Tolstoy in Anna Karenina Joy is universal . It is infectious and all-embracing. Even if we do not speak the same language, joy is both communicated and understood. Sadness has a life all its own. While it consumes us like joy, sadness has its own unique biology. Sometimes it is reflective of one's upbringing . Other times it is because of a chemical imbalance . Other times it is jealousy....The list goes on and on. Better to be connected by joy than disconnected in our inner pain.
