Benefits of being sad

From time to time I want to be sad . Not that I want actually , I do feel I need that . But it seems this isn't popular way of being . People who have sad , gloomy face are considered to be unpopular . Sadness is undesirable - smile is in need. So keep smiling - that's main slogan. In fact , laugh is really healthy. A person who can laugh , despite of difficult situations we come across every day , has got an easier life , I think . But what I really mean , smiling and laughing are good if you can have moments of sadness or melancholly. For the better balance of the body and spirit .
Somebody once wrote , nevermind who -  'The joy - that's a serious thing '. For me thats true. Beethoven's  'Ode to joy'  is fine example .

I often feel like beingl sad . As if I  need to experience a kind of grief , which I haven't gone through yet . And I wonder if it is possible , because nobody wants to experience the grief . And I feel stranded between these two needs , the grief and the joy. As most people try to evoid sadness and grief , the signs of depression , such feeling sometimes rescues  from turmoil inside me . I am only afraid to sink deeper in sadness.
