I think I do.
It's like dark and light, hot and cold, etc. How could we possibly appreciate what each one is without its flip side? How could we even know how amazing joy feels, for example, unless we contrast it with despair?
And sometimes I'm just awestruck at emotions in general...their power and their mystery. As much as some feel so bad, I don't believe I'd choose to be without any of them. Better not ask me to repeat that when I'm really depressed, though....
I loved this post, Deneb. You know, wanting to be enveloped in sadness reminds me of what many therapists might say...let yourself feel it, completely. No denying or struggling against it. Easier said than done, I know.
But what you wrote, along with being beautiful and poetic, sounds...well, healthy! :-)
