Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness

—

,

Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. Human emotions may be what truly define us as “unique” among other living species.

We find joy in the little pleasures life brings to us: the warmth of the sun rising in the morning, a cool breeze in summer, the beautiful colors of autumn leaves.

Anger, sometimes, arises when we witness injustice or behaviors that do not align with the common good.

As there is birth, there is also death, and this will eventually come to each of us. Some may experience the sorrow of losing a loved one early in life, others later. But sorrow and grief become a shared experience that can unite people.

Happiness is embraced in the love of family, friends, and in being moved by people doing their best with what they have.

Emotions need to be understood and nurtured, as they are the foundations for developing empathy and compassion.
