Just last week I dismissed my feelings of sadness. Sadness I confidently said didn't interfere with fulfilling my obligations. It was anger and agitation and panic that were important, because those could interfere with fulfilling my obligations.
So fate decided to whack me with a large shovel of sadness and I'm reeling. I had forgotten the pain, how you have to remember to eat some dry bread, the pain.
Mind you, I was never dismissive of sadness in others, just myself. Because I tend to measure my emotions in terms of whether they hurt or help my efforts to fulfill my obligations.
And by that measure, sadness really isn't that bad I suppose. But i'd better not say so, because the fates are listening.

Jesus, Dinah, and you can *write*!That's really beautiful--the dry bread, the pain.
