RE: Thoughts about the importance of paying attention to our sadness

in #philosophy6 years ago

In the end we attract what we think. Focusing on sadness too much , makes us sadder and sadder. As depicted in this scene in The Neverending story ( that really moved me as a kid ), you will eventually drown in it.

Trying to ignore it, isn't a good thing either. Focus on it a little, try to see what is causing it and see what you can change.

No matter what, focusing on positive things, feeling good, is the best thing that we can do.

Enjoy your weekend :>)

I agree with this, not obsessing about it, but surely paying enough attention so we can understand it, in other words, finding the sweet spot between thinking about it and ignoring it.

That video was a perfect way to show what you wanted to explain, but I have never watched that movie, should I give it a try?

If you can look at it through the eyes of a kid, it's definitely worth it. It was one of my very favorite films, when I grew up. I even wrote a post on it, 7 months ago: My Favorite Childhood Movies
