We all do, but keeping overwhelmed with sadness is to no good in the long haul. As my master tsuchinoko will say, only do something about your life, and you will improve everything. I believe I have one of their fables in spanish, leave me if I can translate to english.
Ejem.
Once upon a time, there was a mayor of a small village called Edo. Edo was, as I said, small, with dirt roads, and under the orders of a somewhat tyrannical feudal lord.
The mayor, calm, every day he climbed a nearby hill, and saw the cultivated fields, and his lands, and he breathed deeply, loving his land, and wishing that that little gem would become a gem carved by artisans.
But unfortunately, he did not get to see his dream come true. However; What he did do was leave behind an enormous legacy, one of teachings and disciples, who for generations would work in that village, until it became a city, until it became the capital, until it became the city of neon and skyscrapers. The jewel of the east.
And although he did not live to see it, the dream of that first tsuchinoko was fulfilled, and his ancient village called Edo became the current Tokyo, a jewel among jewels in the entire world.
Moral: We may not see in our sadness the things we contribute to the world, but each of us has the potential to do wonderful things, and for that reason, we must bring out the best of smiles and live life to the fullest, we only have one after all.
