The Joy of Sadness

I read the whole post without crying, or even feeling much sadness, although number six was mildly touching. I think my lack of emotional response had more to do with the subject of the article than the way it was presented, but there are some mediums I find more moving then others. For instance, to me music is a very cathartic medium. There's something about the tones and instrument choice or lyrics (or lack of lyrics) in a good song that conveys a lot of emotion, regardless of whether it's happiness or sorrow.
