what's more interesting sadness or happiness?why?

Answer 1

They can both be just as interesting as each other and can both be just as helpful at times, if you can control your emotions.

If you can't control them they end up getting the better of you.

Answer 2

Sadness is more interesting; sadness is a concern so it is studied more than happiness: does that really make it more interesting though. I think not. Probably better to find the secret of happiness and spread it to those unhappy people. Even then these feelings are relative and even if everyone was happy, some would still be less happy. How sad is that!

Answer 3

Sadness is fascinating, because it is when people are most creative. I love to write, and I write my best work when I am unhappy. Artists often produce the most wonderful and expressive work when they are unhappy also.

I think this is because humans generally becomes more introverted when melancholy, and thus dedicate their time to one cause/project. Happiness is generally associated with energy and exuberance, whilst sadness is associated with stillness and contemplation.

When unhappy we tend to grow analytical, and look at why we are unhappy, whilst when happy we take it for granted and do not pick it apart, as it is a more desirable state and we hence have more to lose.

When unhappy we can dedicate ourselves to evaluation and analysis of our mood state, and in our attempts to think about and feel our emotions fully, we can reach realisations that give us a new depth which is piled into our work. As an artist, you may express your unhappiness by painting or drawing, or sculpting how you feel, and that art is then absolutely heart-wrenching to an audience, because they can feel the emotion you created it with. The same goes for writing. You write the most heart-felt and beautiful prose/poetry when you are truly feeling and assessing the world, because you see it a new way.

I think sadness is more interesting, because we understand happiness form a chemical point of view, and we accept it as our desired state. We rarely realise that sadness serves us as human beings too, and that we need it sometimes to help us keep going. We throw drugs at it, and complain about it, but we rarely recognise that it is a) required, and b) can bestow beautiful gifts of art and literature upon us.

Answer 4

I am sad that i could have achieved more happiness. Sadness is very interesting, since it is not required, but it is present after so much evolution in human, maybe it helped in survival but not in evolved humans. Happiness is real nature of soul, just take a deep breath and forget past experiences and its impression in mind, whatever remains is happiness.

Answer 5

Any intense emotion is interesting. I think that when people
are happy, others want to share in their joy. When people
are sad, others want to help & fix the problem.

Sometimes, it's nice to watch a happy feel-good movie
and other times you need a real tear-jerker. Both are
interesting in and of themselves and necessary. If there
was no sad, you wouldn't have the contrast to know when
you were actually happy. Happy might just be "normal" and
not appreciated for what it is.

Feeling is good. It's when people don't feel that they run
into trouble.

Answer 6

If you didnt have sadness you could never feel happy. Dont think you can judge which is more interesting.

Answer 7

Sadnessis much more interesting, but happiness makes for better company.

Answer 8

I think it must be sadness because no one ever ask why you are happy but everyone will ask why you are sad.

Answer 9

Happiness seems interesting to sad people & vice versa, as they both lack it & hence they envy each others'.

Answer 10

sadness - coz you might have to refrain yourself from asking for the reason as it might hurt him/her even more. in case of a happy person you can just ask him the reason for which is will be more than happy to oblige and there remains no more curiosity.

Answer 11

Well, it depends on what you mean.
If you're taling about in books and stories etc, probably saddness, although it does depend alot on why they're sad.

if you're talking about anyone in particular, both. but then, if they walked into the room happily, you'd just think they had a good day. If they came in sad, you'd wonder why they were upset.
