\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sadness\u00a0comes from within, not from without.<\/p>\n

The world doesn’t feel, doesn’t care.<\/p>\n

We do.<\/p>\n

The moon looks down upon upon us, but truly, it is blind. It does not see, does not care, does not think of us.<\/p>\n

How could it? How many times would its heart have been broken by now? Even the happy endings have endings.<\/p>\n

After a couple of billion endings, the moon wouldn’t be interested any more.<\/p>\n

The sun sets whether we want it to or not, and brings an end to our best days and our worst indifferently. Then it rises and forces a new day upon us.<\/p>\n

The stars twinkle merrily in the sky at night. Or do they? Perhaps they twinkle coldly.<\/p>\n

It’s all in how we see it, how we perceive it, how we color our world.<\/p>\n

The deepest sadness comes from within, for there is no sadness without.<\/p>\n

But the deepest sadness comes from the place where the deepest happiness bubbles up from. For there is no happiness without either, only within.<\/p>\n

When you look at the cold moon, you can choose to look at a lover’s moon instead.<\/p>\n

When you watch the sun sink into the dark, you can choose to see it as the beginning of the night, not the end of the day.<\/p>\n

When the stars twinkle down upon you, it is your happiness that makes them sparkle.<\/p>\n

Leave the sadness where it lies, it can’t come out into the world anyway. It doesn’t exist out here, only within you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
