“You need a reason to be sad; you don’t need a reason to be happy.”

This quote came from Wayside Stories by Louis Sachar. One of the characters, DJ, said it in reference to why he is always so happy and smiling.

To me, this quote means that I should be happy most of the time. I should not just be sad for no reason. A lot of things that might make me sad, do not happen all day every day. There are things in life that are sad. These sad things help me appreciate being happy more, but this does not mean I should spend my whole life being sad.

This quote is powerful. It can help make our world a better place if we learn from it. It is ok to be sad. But be happy sometimes too. When you are sad, think about the good things in life. If we are happy and help each other, especially those who seem sad, we can make the world a better place.

How do you help others feel happy when they are sad? What things do you think about that make you happy?
