The Case for Sadness: Why happiness may not be all it's cracked up to be
Of course, no reasonable case can be made for debilitating sadness, let alone for depression.
But our perkiness-valuing society deems even mild sadness to be a
character defect or at least needing of repair: “What’s wrong, Pat?”
Yet, a defensible case can be made for a mild state of sadness.
Perhaps it will promote self-acceptance among people who, because of
biology and/or environment, walk the earth a little less chipper than
average. I tackle that in my PsychologyToday.com article today.
