Nice post I share 100% what you say. After many years, I can tell you that the distance or the absence of loved ones is what unhappiest me has done. Neither the lack of resources or luxuries has made me sad as much as having the people I love far away. But as you say, we should not give up, and do everything possible to take care of our emotions and be happy, thanks for sharing.
Yeah, it's an innate human need to be around the people you love and value. Missing them and feeling sad when they are away is natural. Thanks so much for reading :)
