Manchester United was a sad experience. Things didn't go as I had hoped. I was disappointed, and it didn't help me to rise to the surface.
Informed by our sad experience of history, we require nothing short of a foundation for lasting democracy.
It was a sad process for me to become a mom, and a long process. I felt so embarrassed that I couldn't have a biological child.
I still think having an older brother in the NFL is the coolest thing ever. But to see how it went down is sad.
I've had to put horses down on the farm before, and it's very, very sad.
I had rather have a fool to make me merry than experience to make me sad and to travel for it too!

It is not ignoble to feel that the fuller life which a sad experience has brought us is worth our personal share of pain. The growth of higher feeling within us is like the growth of faculty, bringing with it a sense of added strength. We can no more wish to return to a narrower sympathy than painters or musicians can wish to return to their cruder manner, or philosophers to their less complete formulas.
