What is Sadness? sadness and childhood

Sadness is an emotional pain associated with, or characterized by, feelings of disadvantage, loss, despair, grief, helplessness, disappointment and sorrow. An individual experiencing sadness may become quiet or lethargic, and withdraw themselves from others. An example of severe sadness is depression. Crying can be an indication of sadness. Sadness is one of the "six basic emotions" described by Paul Ekman, along with happiness, anger, surprise, fear, and disgust. Childhood :- Sadness is a common experience in childhood. Some families may have a (conscious or unconscious) rule that sadness is "not allowed", but Robin Skynner has suggested that this may cause problems, arguing that with sadness "screened off", people can become shallow and manic. Pediatrician T. Berry Brazelton suggests that acknowledging sadness can make it easier for families to address more serious emotional problems. Sadness is part of the normal process of the child separating from an early symbiosis with the mother and becoming more independent. Every time a child separates a little more, he or she will have to cope with a small loss. If the mother cannot allow the minor distress involved, the child may never learn how to deal with sadness by themselves. Brazelton argues that too much cheering a child up devalues the emotion of sadness for them;and Selma Fraiberg suggests that it is important to respect a child's right to experience a loss fully and deeply. Margaret Mahler also saw the ability to feel sadness as an emotional achievement, as opposed for example to warding it off through restless hyperactivity. D. W. Winnicott similarly saw in sad crying the psychological root of valuable musical experiences in later life.

RPG

A rocket-propelled grenade (often abbreviated RPG) is a shoulder-fired anti-tank weapon system that fires rockets equipped with an explosive warhead. Most RPGs can be carried by an individual soldier. These warheads are affixed to a rocket motor which propels the RPG towards the target and they are stabilized in flight with fins. Some types of RPG are reloadable with new rocket-propelled grenades, while others are single-use. RPGs, with some exceptions, are generally loaded from the muzzle RPGs with high explosive anti-tank warheads (HEAT) are very effective against armored vehicles such as armoured personnel carriers (APCs). However, heavily armored vehicles from the 2010s, such as main battle tanks, are generally too well armored (with thick composite and/or reactive armor) to be penetrated by an RPG, unless less armored sections of vehicle are exploited. Various warheads are also capable of causing secondary damage to vulnerable systems (especially sights, tracks, rear and roof o...

’’ایک روٹی کے عوض مغفرت‘‘

حضرت سیدنا ابو بردہ رحمۃ اللہ تعالیٰ علیہ فرماتے ہیں:جب حضرت سید نا ابو موسیٰ رحمۃاللہ تعالیٰ علیہ کی وفات کا وقت قریب آیا تو آپ رحمۃ اللہ تعالیٰ علیہ نے اپنے تمام بیٹوں کو اپنے پاس بلاکر فرمایا: میں تمہیں صاحب الرغیف (یعنی روٹی والے) کا قصہ سناتا ہوں ، اسے ہمیشہ یاد رکھنا،پھرفرمایا:ایک عابد شخص اپنی جھو نپڑی میں لوگو ں سے الگ تھلگ عبادت کیاکرتا تھا . وہ ستر سال تک اسی جھونپڑی میں رہا ،اس عرصہمیں کبھی بھی اس نے عبادت کو ترک نہ کیا اور نہ ہی کبھی اپنی جھونپڑی سے باہر آیا. پھر ایک دن وہ جھونپڑی سے باہر آیا تو اسے شیطان نے ایک عورت کے فتنے میں مبتلا کردیا، اور وہ سات دن یا سات راتیں اسی عورت کے ساتھ رہا، سات دن کے بعد جب اس کی آنکھوں سے غفلت کا پردہ ہٹا تو وہ اپنی اس حرکت پر بہت نادم ہوا، اور اللہ تعالیٰ کی بارگاہ میں تو بہ کی، اور وہاں سے رخصت ہوگیا . وہ اپنے اس فعل پر بہت نادم تھا ،اب اس کی یہ حالت تھی کہ قدم قدم پر نما ز پڑھتا اور تو بہ کرتا. پھر ایک رات وہ ایسی جگہ پہنچا جہاں بارہ مسکین رہتے تھے . وہ بہت زیادہ تھکا ہوا اور بھوکا تھا، تھکاوٹ اور بھوک کی وجہ سے وہ ان مسکینوں کے ق...

Research has shown that loneliness is prevalent throughout society, including people in marriages, relationships, families, veterans, and those with successful careers. It has been a long explored theme in the literature of human beings since classical antiquity. Loneliness has also been described as social pain—a psychological mechanism meant to motivate an individual to seek social connections. Loneliness is often defined in terms of one's connectedness to others, or more specifically as "the unpleasant experience that occurs when a person's network of social relation...
