Question

What is the distance between sadness and happiness?

Answer 1

No distance at all. When you are a NO SAYER u know that you are sad and when you are an YES SAYER you know that you are happy.

So the distance is between YES and NO in you.

Answer 2

Time

Answer 3

The same distance as your Mood swing.

Answer 4

The distance between sadness and happiness could be seconds away or years away, depending on the issue.

A death, divorce, illness, accident can alter lives instantly and cause sadness.

A birth, new love, proposal of marriage, marriage, new friends, old friends, new opportunity, can alter lives instantly and cause happiness.

Other challenges will either make you stronger or weaken you depending on your attitude and ability to accept change.  

Some are born being exposed to challeneges, some are protected.  

Sadness allows us to appreciate happiness, both are equally important to help us understand our own emotions.  Having balance of both happy and sad experience's in our lives helps us be tolerant of most issues.

All of us desire the distance between happiness and sadness to be longer and the distance between sadness and happiness shorter.

I believe that when the distance between happiness and sadness is longer, it is also harder. When the distance between happiness and sadness is shorter, we become stronger.

Peace be Still

Answer 8

Sadness and happiness are closer than you think, without sadness we may never know what happiness is. One cannot be without the other. That's how mother nature has made it, we all have to experience both, not just one, some point in our lifetime. Sadness and happiness merely have different name but they're both joined as one. Many don't see it that way, but I do! =)

Answer 14

Sadness or happiness from an event is dependent on whether

our self interest is fulfilled or damaged.

Answer 15

Sadness is due to a 'loss' and happiness is caused by 'gain' and it can be instantaneous/simultaneous because either gain can lost immediately or sadness my be perceived as in fact a gain equally immediately. hence, There is hardly any distance or even no distance. Often, it can be a distance of a change of attitude in a jiffy.
