It often happens: being sad and angry without understanding the reason well. Some days sadness surprises us, catches us and traps us. It is also mixed with a feeling of inexplicable anger, which, combined with the taste of apathy and despair, tarnishes and complicates our reality or our ability to achieve any goal even more.
Perhaps this feeling is familiar to us. Most of us, too, would give anything as long as these gray days never appeared on our calendar again; we would like, of course, to drive away sadness forever from our lives like when we take a brush to remove dust or hair from our favorite coat.
If we feel this need it is for a very simple reason: they have taught us ever since children that there are positive and negative emotions. The latter, as in the case of annoyance, anger or sadness, must be hidden, avoided or, even worse, absorbed in a kind of unhealthy and not very pedagogical practice. A habit that makes us sick, with the promise that, as long as we pretend that everything is fine, we will look better in the eyes of those who look at us from the outside.
