Deep question from my son!

[specialmom]

So, I was having one of my great and treasured conversations with my son who is very sensitive and cerebral.  He is very thoughtful when he forms an opinion and he said he was just laying in bed thinking about this question one night and wanted to know my answer to it.  What would I rather never feel again?  Anger or sadness.  He had a very interesting take on it.  so, which would you rather never feel again, Anger Or Sadness?

crickets.  Well, okay.  I'll continue the conversation on my own here. . .  sniff sniff.  

So, I definitely immediately said sadness.  I've had grief, heartbreak, etc.  And it was so awful, I'd never like to experience that again.  I've watched that same boy who asked this deep question being left out which made my heart feel squeezed in a way that I can't really describe.  I've sat with him when he's crying.  I've buried a parent long before her time should have been.  I had a THEN love of my life dump me.  Pain.

So, I gave my answer.  And my deep child looked at me and said "that's what I thought at first too.  BUT)  

Anyone else have any thoughts . . .  come on.  Play along.
