a sad experience

After you have chosen your topic, make a list of at least three feelings or emotions that express how you feel. Caution: Do not confuse feelings with opinions. If you dislike a person because he makes you angry, you are expressing a feeling. If you dislike a person because you think he is rowdy, you are expressing an opinion. To say a person's rowdiness makes you angry is acceptable.

Write one to three paragraphs for the feelings or emotions on your list. Be sure to include any changes in your feelings during or following the event or relationship. Use a variety of words to express the feelings you are discussing.
Write a summary. In this summary tell the most important ideas you have mentioned. Do not give new information.
Proofread your work. Rewrite if necessary to correct errors. Show your work to your teacher or parent when you are finished.

Sadness is often seen as an affliction that is not normal, such as a disease that affects someone’s health is not normal.
Hamlet, from Shakespeare’s play of the same name, is one of the saddest characters in the Western literature. Hamlet says this to Queen Gertrude:
'Tis not alone my inky cloak, good mother, Nor customary suits of solemn black, Nor windy suspiration of forced breath, No, nor the fruitful river in the eye, Nor the dejected haviour of the visage, Together with all forms, moods, shows of grief That can denote me truly. These indeed "seem", For they are actions that a man might play; But I have that within which passeth show -- These but the trappings and the suits of woe.
Hamlet clearly shows that his feelings are deeper inside than what is being shown outside. Everyone can make themselves look sad. True sadness is what comes from inside.
Another example from my life shows how my emotions can change from things that happen.
One day I came back home. When I opened the door I see the dog chewing the baby’s toys. I was shocked by the mess in front of me. Moreover, the baby was crying at the same time. I hurried up to prepare the baby’s milk when the hot water splashed me and scalded my hand. My hard work and pain didn’t produce good rewards; instead the baby didn’t want to drink the milk and continued crying. The whole situation annoyed me. I thought “what the hell can I do to make the baby calm down?!? In addition, when I sat down later in front of the computer to find out my score for the latest examination I saw that I didn’t pass and I added shame to my frustration.
Working off this assumption, I want to suggest in the next section that sadness is not a deviation or fluke at all, but rather the most basic and fundamental human emotional state.
