Manythings we do have an big goal in common; to be happy. I, myself, started this blog to be happy, and make you find easy ways to find happiness. But did you know that sadness may be good for you?
Some scientists claim that sadness is good for us because it helps us cope with life’s challenges, more resilient and spur them to greater achievements.
Prof Wakefield, of New York University, believes human sadness helps us learn from our mistakes.
He said: “I think one of the functions of intense negative emotions is to stop our normal functioning – to make us focus on something else for a while.”
It also might act as a psychological deterrent to prevent us from making those mistakes in the first place, reports New Scientist.
The risk of sadness may deter us from being too impetuous or cavalier, especially in relationships or with other things we value.
Dr Paul Keedwell, a psychiatrist at Cardiff University, said even full-blown depression may save us from the effects of long-term stress.
He says without taking time out to reflect “you might stay in a state of chronic stress until you’re exhausted or dead.”
