Sorrow comes in when we don’t focus on the scope of the situation, but only how it affects US. There’s always loss at some point in life, but it opens new opportunities that we could miss if we move around with a cloud of sorrow over our eyes. Crashing your car IS bad, but you might meet the girl of your dreams at the DMV!
