Why is a Human in Sorrow ? what is the reason of Sorrow?
Life is changing; it is in a flux.Happenings happen, and life is a flow.You have to accept this. When you cling to this changing world, then you are in conflict and hence in sorrow.Body is changing. Even you grow older, if you cling to the idea of being young, then you are in conflict and hence you are in sorrow. Existence has no sorrow. It is just a happening.You cling to your idea, and that idea is in conflict. Your sorrow is psychological rather than existential.
