Evolutionary Question


Loneliness I can understand.
We need one another.

But why did we evolve sadness?
Depression? Despair?

Was it for the same reason?

    I think sadness, depression, and despair is the byproduct of mind's evolved capability to produce complex anticipation--wish and expectation.

    We have known the perfect.
    We long for it, and know we'll never have it in this life.

    Because it's part of the journey.

    A wise man once said, a fish is not aware of water, until it's thrown out of it.

    We're like the fish--we're being thrown out so we can be aware of the perfect.

    I guess.

    :D

    Expectations. Perfection.

    An interesting pairing.
