Best parts of sadness: - low tolerance for my own bullshit. - seeing how quickly emotional & cognitive activity congeals into fixated attitudes - making myself laugh at the weirdness of humanity - lack of hopefulness - sweet, sticky, rice puddingy quality - enjoying it -> release

For anyone under the impression that sadness - or any state of mind - isn't ok: 1 - actually notice the emotional flavour in your body 2 - get interested in the flavours, textures, changes 3 - notice the impulse to repress or enact 4 - remember that any state of mind is workable

This is the basic advice that changed my cognitive frame around emotion in general. Being told that absolutely any state of mind is fundamentally workable, had a tremendous impact on my life at the time. I thought I'd share that, in case it helps someone, somewhere, sometime

Do you mean, how did it change my cognitive frame around emotion? Or, how did it have a tremendous impact? Or, how would it help someone?

Fat thumbs. 'Instrumental value in being productive' haha. That ticked me. It depends on how you're framing productivity, of course. Personally, I think that every state of mind has instrumental value for realising the ephemerality and non-solidity of every state of mind.

If you say so. I can’t say I know the fine points of value theory.
