Sad feelings are like all the other feelings we experience, they are an indication that something is going wrong in our lives. The more unsettled problems you have, the more likely you will feel sad from time to time. You do not have to solve the problem completely to feel good, you just need to take any action towards solving it. Feeling sad without knowing why is usually the result of having too many collected problems in your subconscious mind to the extent that you do not know which of them is the actual reason for your sad feelings. These sad quotes will highlight the meaning of sadness, and how to overcome sadness.
