sad is an awfully short word for an interminably long emotion.
horatio spafford phrased it effectively, 'when sorrows like sea billows roll...'
sometimes they're as turbulent as stormy waves, and other times as subdued as bare ripples lapping on the shore.
but as constant as the ocean, with varying depths, and unyielding unpredictability.
sad is an incredibly simple word for an unfathomably complex emotion.
the psalmist concurred, 'be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am in distress; my eyes grow weak with sorrow, my soul and my body with grief...'
it's emotion oozing out physiologically. shortness of breath, vision delay, restless sleep, depleted energy, overwhelming fatigue, irritability, sore muscles, sore gums, bruises, blisters, fevers, aches, just to name the few that can be named...
