Sadness is caused by intelligence.
The more you understand certain things, the more you wish you didn’t understand them.
(Charles Bukowski)
A certain level of sadness is often a byproduct of empathy and understanding;
the deeper our comprehension of the world’s complexities,
the more acutely we may feel its suffering.
This poignant awareness of life’s inherent fragility and the pain experienced by ourselves and others
can lead to moments of sorrow.
However, this capacity for profound understanding is also a source of great strength and compassion.
It fuels our desire to make a positive impact, to alleviate suffering,
and to build a more compassionate world.
The very intelligence that allows us to feel sadness
also empowers us to find meaning, purpose,
and ultimately, hope, in the face of life’s challenges.
