Hi Sid
Only an individualistic culture would seek to locate the reason for sadness within the individual.
Yet, while there are reasons to feel sad, it is helpful to know what some of them are.
From the case you mention, wasted time and feeling might be one.
(I'm indulging my melancholy by doing some overlapping reading...."Stalin's Hangmen" and "The Devils" by Dostoyevsky, as a sort of enquiry into the alternate realities we humans dream up and act out.)
I was talking to someone this morning and The Fire Sermon came up, we took the dog to be blessed on St Francis's Feast Day and prayed for all the animals in the factory farms, and then the reading was from the Book of Job ["Curse God and Die"] (I hadn't thought the Anglican Church had it in them).
It's all colour and movement round here.
