Sadness means you need love. (From another person, a pet, yourself.) Someone whose presence brings you comfort. May be dead, living, fictional, historical figure, religious (god, saints, Buddha, etc.) Live and in person is best though. Let someone love you how you need to be loved.

I think it means that a few things: Being called. We are called by something higher to grow and stretch, to evolve.

To impede one’s quest to be authentic, be it our own or another’s, is a grave injustice and should be avoided at all cost.
