Thanks for posting it. I personally believe that sadness is just one more of our natural emotions, and it doesn't sound too normal to me that someone might never feel sad in his/her life. Sadness can help us relieve some stress or grow out of a problem, or simply let us get in touch with that emotion. I think it's necessary for a healthy balance of emotions. Hello Sarah,

We must have both for a balance to occur, a yen and yang effect. Yes we are all interconnected in many ways. Kirlen photography shows energy fields of leaves, amputated limbs. Where the area was cut is still there energetically. As people when we are next to another person are energy fields combine. Have you never felt full of energy and then come near someone who is exhausted? Then how do you feel after being around this person for a time? “Exhausted” The same happens with emotions or other energies, what one person feels another can pick up. The more empathic or sensitive a person is the more they are able to ,whether it is willingly or unwillingly, tune into another and become connected. Without sadness we would not have happiness.
