In reply to overwhelming sadness/ thoughts and emotions, posted by Ines on March 18, 2007, at 5:40:01
Well, if you're walking along and all of a sudden you are filled with an overwhelming joy, you are going to have no trouble explaining it.
You will say 'look at the sky, look around you, isn't it obvious?'.In the same way you are walking along and you are filled with an overwhelming sadness.
Where does that come from?
IMO (unless you are unlucky at that moment) it has something to do with memory and experience, and memories can remind you that overwhelming sadness is appropriate, and then sometimes we get stuck there, until we can let go.
