Though a perfect life of happiness is what everyone prays for, our lives are not complete without experiencing sadness. It helps us to accept as well as appreciate things that we may have taken for granted in our life. It is also said that the feeling of sadness brings us closer to God as we tend to remember him when we are going through difficult times. Hence, even though sadness is not a desirable thing, it teaches us values of hope, self-belief, patience, integrity and humility. Trying times also help us to strengthen the bonds of true friendships. Keeping this in mind, here are a set of quotes that will explain this universal feeling of sadness in a better way.
