Sadness
(back to the index of emotions)
Below are the entries where Sadness is significant.
| I think of sadness as something akin to the emotional equivalent of physical pain. And as with physical pain, its immensity and duration can vary hugely. It’s an imprecise emotion. | It seems to me sadness has accompaniments: melancholy perhaps, helplessness, grief ... and so on. I can’t be sure if I think sadness is an emotion in its own right. If you think about the cause, you tend to be sad because of some specific reason or reasons. |
