I went on one of those thinking rampages again and come to a conclusion that the emotion of sadness doesn't exist. How is this possible? Sadness is regret.

When someone dies you think you are sad but in reality you are in regret, whether it be b.c you regret not living the life you want w.that person or regret that you weren't there w.them. Then you

I agree about what you said about regret. Though that could be sadness, too. You're _sad_ that you didn't get to do as much and you regret it.

Like i said to nicoleee sadness is another word for regret, they are synonymsss. It could be sadness but the question is...what is sadness?

[epee_essence]

I'm saying that they're not the same thing, they just happen to go along with each other.

i dunno. i think sadness is a sort of regret, but that doesnt mean it doesnt exist. it's just pretty much the same thing. i think sadness is regret that you couldn't help, while regret you could have done something about but missed/wasted the chance. like im sure you're sad amy died but do you regret it? its not your fault. you couldn't have helped it. maybe you're upset because you didnt get to spend as much fun times with her as you would have liked, but even if you had, you'd still be sad that there wasnt anything in the future to look forward to doing with her, etc. etc.

Sadness is regret, but regret is not sadness. Regret is the foundation of sadness. Yeah i guess sadness exists but sadness doesn't haaave to exist b.c we could replace the word sadness w. regret. Sadness is just an adjective to describe regret. So about Amy, that sadness probably was regret. Not regret that i couldn't have helped her, regret that i didn't tell her how i felt before she died, not hanging out w.her more often or maybe not giving her a better life. Buuuut when i did think of all the good times we had, i was no longer in regret, meaning i was no longer upset. This is hard to explain. Hope you understand. Yeah so that's how i feel. This is deeeeeeep braaaah it needs something immature....

Boobies!

if you tell someone the truth that they needed to hear (to protect them) and they stop being your friend and start being hurtful, is it still regret when you feel sad?

[hippos_0_0]

it could be regret in how you said it, that you didn't cherish your friendship while it lasted, there are many reasons that can cause this regret some that you might not know yourself.

btw, who are you?
