In chapter six the Little Prince talks about he was able to watch 40 sunsets in one day on his planet just by moving his chair a few steps.
"You know--one loves the sunset, when one is so sad..."
When we are sad we always want something to look forward to. Sometimes our sadness causes is to fall into bad habits or addictions. Much like my previous post on good seeds vs. bad seeds, during sadness is one of the harder times to distinguish good from bad choices. We want instant gratification or comfort and will do most anything to feel better.
I think religion plays a big role into the decisions we make when sadness takes over. I have to say it's one of the better influences on one's decisions during a time of grief. People find comfort in their beliefs and have faith that during their time of difficulty everything will work out for the best because there is a bigger picture or divine purpose as to why things have happened.
