When you let it be sad. It's honestly never sad, we as humans decide it's sad.

....all you can think about is being sad......

It's a sad day when it seems that everyone's throwing a problem, pressure, and stuff at you.

I don't feel any friendship.

I oversleep a few hours and miss my lunch.

You hurt from desire.
Lose your sense of humor.
Ignore anothers suffering.

...when you do not achieve something of value.
Why?
Because not achieving it is the opposite of this definition of happiness:

"Happiness is the successful state of life, pain is an agent of death. Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one's values."

"...but the torture of frustration is all he will find, unless he seeks the happiness proper to man. The purpose of morality is to teach you, not to suffer and die, but to enjoy yourself and live." [1]

"The happiness "proper to man" has always been ascribed as a dictator's definition. "Well, if Ayn Rand said it, it was facisist." Because you all ask yourselves "whos definition? Who are you to say what is "proper"?

"She answered that by saying, "It is you who are to say what is proper--for you, that is true; but the objective is to attain what is predicable of man. That does not mean hedonism, though hedonic pleasures can be fun. It is to comprehend 'qua Man' and reach for him within you.
"Get it in your grasp.
"Go for the pursuit of happiness. Be an achiever. Leave alone the torture of frustration.
"It is a sad day when you cannot.

"No. She would not have put it that way. I put it that way, me myself. I need no sanction from her." [2]

We forget to see the beauty of it all.
