Liver disease strikes fast. The family cat never stood a chance. One month earlier, she was healthy as an ox, which was in turn as healthy as several horses. Overnight, Plastic (an odd name for a cat, I admit) became weak and feeble. It hurts me to see this noble and majestic animal reduced to an invalid. I couldn't cry, until I heard my four-year-old nephew. He was sitting alone in his room, holding a picture of the cat, with his face streaked-red and tears in his eyes, and he was singing.
"Plastic, why are you gone? I hope you come back. I miss you."

The saddest thing, to me, is a child's innocence. We logically know the cat is gone forever. He "hopes" she comes back, as if his will could cause such an event. He doesn't really comprehend death, that's the worst part. He just knows his cat stopped moving, she won't meow anymore, and it makes him sad. And now, I can't stop crying.

What is the saddest thing, to you?

Dead cats, Innocence, drowning puppies. Not really that big of a deal to me. Come on, a cat dying is better than it suffering and I don't know I just never had a soft spot for puppies. And as for innocence. It's keeps children safe until they are ready to accept the full concept of things such as death and sin.

For me the worst thing is my family suffering. Strangers that are murdered or maimed I just don't give a ****. But when it's some one like my brother or a parent then I would have to get revenge. Which is a sad thing in itself isn't it. The need for revenge.

Any way basically the worst thing for my is when either I or some one I know or even a complete stranger causes my family pain.

I agree-- that's very sad. Really very sad, actually. But the saddest thing? Someone who believes they are so usless and unloved that they kill themselves. That's the saddest thing to me, I think. But no, seeing a four year old child not understanding why their cat is dead is pretty depressing.

Yeah, the children don't know about death until an older age. It is sad, and yet at the same time comforting, to know that at least someone believes there is at least a chance for the loved one to come back and make things better again.
The saddest thing to me, in this scenario, is children losing their inoccence.

I think the saddest thing is when people choose to waste their life away. People who choose to be alcoholics, smokers, drug addicts, people that choose to be depressed because life isn't easy, even largely obese people that just don't care that they're so unhealthy. It's like they know they're causing their bodies harm, and they don't care that they could lose their life because of it.
You've only got one life to live, why waste it?

Too true. I guess for me the saddest thing would be to have a family member or pet dies, because when you get attached to them, you don't know what to do afterwards, or when you have a pet that doesn't really have too much longer to live, you just really regret you didn't do more. I guess it's also the feeling that you were never good enough to the poor thing...

In the first world, the saddest thing has to be complete and absolute loneliness.

Looking at the world as a whole the saddest thing is one of any number of seemingly unsolvable global tragedies.

I remember when I had a cat that just 'wasn't any good for itself anymore'. What I basically mean was that it hurt itself so much to move that it would just lay there until it was so thirsty and so hungry that it had to get up. As young as I was it was a whole lot easier for my parents to put it down than it was to watch it cringe whenever I tried to pet it.

Isn't that kind of redundant, what with dogs knowing, by instinct, how to swim from birth and all?

I feel bad for the little guy. I lost a pet when I was young and I cried non-stop for an entire day. The animal was closer to me than anything I've ever had or ever probably will have in my entire life. Oddly enough, nowadays death isn't a big deal to me. I really couldn't tell you why, but it just isn't. Things die, that's what they do.

As for me, the saddest thing to ever hit me was my parents' divorce. It was absolutely horrible for the first year or so, but now I'm fine with it (hell, now, I can't stand to be around my mother. She makes me sick ). Besides that, I've never really been tramautized by anything.

If I had to pick something that happens regularly or has happened in recent times, it's got to be the emotion you get from rejection. It just..... I can't even describe it. Basically just a bleh feeling, I guess

The saddest thing that comes to mindset right now for me would be autism. As saddening as it may sound like, I have it myself, and quite frankly, I feel their pain (and by "their" I mean every other autistic person on the face of the planet). I mean, let's face the facts: autistic people do not want to be autistic, they did not choose to be autistic (rather, they were born autistic), and they just can't change themselves for the better of their surroundings. Whenever something only somewhat bad happens to them, they may get angry, make excuses, point fingers and blame other people for what happened, and that's only one of their sad characteristics. But when something REALLY bad happens to them, something that they feel that they can never get over, like someone they loved laying them off for someone else in the midst of a developing relationship (which they most likely needed help with since they normally do not have very consistent social skills), ie me, they act like it's the worst thing that's ever happened to them even knowing that there were plenty of other really bad instances that occured to them earlier on in their lives, and they shy away from any involvement with the process for a really long time, afraid of being emotionally hurt again when the tides of life close in on them once more (ie: in this case, talking to other girls and trying to start a different relationship). Austic people often behave rather abnormally at these kinds of things, and will send the most emotionally-distraught complaint to whoever it may concern (or may not remotely concern, rather) the first chance they get. They abuse their right to express free will, knowing that it will make them look bad and immature to people paying close attention to their pleas, yet they don't seem to care and can't fight the agony that forces them to express themselves in this way. They like to think to themselves that they are lousy, pathetic no lives and make no effort to make their life better and more enjoyable for themselves, thinking that they can't because they themselves don't think that they are very well accepted into this world one way or another (that's the way I felt when it came to girls acceptance when my last love-interest blew me off and decided that she wanted to be with someone else, and right at the last minute, too), and because of this, they have to strout around, hoping that people will look after and respect them for who they are, thinking that they're "cool" or "hip" or whatnot. They may not know that people who act in similar ways are autistic, but with enough instances like this, it's very pleaseable to form a conclusion that they are and, while they may seem and act like nice people on the outside, there's just no stopping the emotional demons that haunt them day and night from inside of them, the ones that force them to make haunting decisions (like flipping someone off and/or cursing and yelling at them when angry) whenever things are so unfavorable of them, that they just don't care what consequences will soon follow. They see the world in a different way, they see it as their own playground, they remain sad and depressed for the rest of their lives, and feel like throwing it all away, just hoping that they will soon drown within their tears that they shed so that they don't ever have to feel sad, depressed, or often times angry, ever again.

When putting all of these things together, it's rather sad to think of autistic people. Someone who knows an autistic person might try to help them, yet knowing that their advice will not make their lives any better, as if anything ever would. Autistic people are nearly-impossible to cheer up whenever they are feeling down, and they just feel the need to whine and complain about it even if it forces other people to have second thoughts, and with that said, I'm sorry if my posts on this board are sometimes whinny and immature when I'm feeling sad, or mouthy and bitchy (as in badmouthing other board members or even real life people) when angry, but also take the time to consider this: like every other autistic person known to man, I do not want to be autistic, I did not choose to be autistic, and I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to change that aspect of myself.

There, consider that a confession well spoken of.
