Sorrow is deceptive when it makes us turn to people.
The craving for company, the thirst for attention- they have little to do with the sadness.
Or maybe you can say they have everything to do with it.
That all there is to it is loneliness. Finding company dispels it.
Then sorrow isn't always sorrow. Sometimes it's just a conversational topic. It's a pressing topic, bound to garner attention.
One finds himself desiring to be sorrowful. It gives his life meaning.
But perhaps he ought to rejoice, as the bible commands.
The thirst for earthly attention now impeding the glorification of God.
And so, what safer thing to do than to seek God?
