so...

i'll start with the part that everyone knows...

sadness-
            i am beginning to think that this is the only truly understandable emotion. i have a theory so if you could bare with me for a few moments i'll explain.
                                                     i think of water. it's in this constant state of motion. but that motion gets interrupted by various obstacles. it slows down and sometimes redirects itself. often with this interruption comes change. change in the surface and landscape.
                                                     then i think of me, and how i am mostly made up of water. i have obstacles that slow me down and cause me to redirect and in some cases..i change the surface and landscape of those in my life.
                                                    then i think of sadness and how prevalent it is in our culture. this constant emotion that is sometimes slowed down and interrupted..you get what i'm saying...

and i'm not saying we are sad all of the time. often we are just flowing


this is why happiness is so important though. because of its rarity. it's these small interruptions that we have as we flow through life. and it  slows us down and redirects us. and often changes the surface and landscape of our lives

flow, but pay attention to what slows you down and interrupts you
