light is much easier to see in darkness

It is much easier to understand, desire, and cultivate happiness when i can work on extracting, translating, and transforming sadness into good. I think this is why i am so obsessed with the melancholy, the heartache, the betrayal. It is not that so much makes me sad but that happiness is so much more than that, so much worth fighting for. 10 ounces of sadness do not even add up to 1 oz of happiness. So, if I can change any ounces of sadness into good, I am hell bent on doing it. It is more economical after all! Though sadness is my obsession, my goal is always the joy. I delight in watching the weight of worries subside and float on.
