I love this learning english series on youtube. The text below are copied from the link about sad/happiness. How true it is. It is easier to grow up as a mature adult through hardship but not when you are laying in a cosy bed..

It would be fair to say that we all go through times when things seem bad. People can sometimes let you down. People have the ability to say things that make you unhappy. Events and circumstances may come along and destroy your plans for future.

As poet Stephen Spender once wrote: "You must live through the time when everything hurts. "

Life comes with no guarantees or promises.

The sunny days of contentment can only be truely appreciated through the dark gloomy nights of despair.

For without sadness, we would never really know what it is like to be truely happy.

2.You are not that important.
3. Your life is not about you.
4. You're not in control.
