Part of sadness comes from feeling as if you are on the outside
looking in, as if there is a great big party going on "somewhere
else" but you're stuck where you are. But even at parties - how
many people are really living in the moment and having a great
time - and how many people are putting on the facade of having a
good time? It's one of the reasons why celebrations often
revolve around alco...hol, drugs, religion, a TV show, shopping,
gossip, politics, or some kind of 'something' that takes you
away from noticing that underlying sadness that you and all all
people feel in their darkest moments - those moments of feeling
disconnected from those around you."
