This is a clip from South Park when Stan's heart was broken when Wendy broke up with him and she starts seeing Token. Stan's friends try to make him feel better by taking to him what is basically a Hooters. Stan is still heartbroken over Wendy. Stan starts hanging out with the goth kids and because just a whinny brat because it didn't work out with one Wendy. The girls that work at this restaurant flirts with the boys and Butters falls in love with one of the girls, and he doesn't realize that she was doing that so he would tip more money. Butters buys her gifts and starts stalking her. Towards the end, Butters realized that the girl he was stalking was not his girlfriend and that she really didn't like him. He was hurt and he was left crying at the side of the road in the rain. Then Stan and the other goth kids finds Butters and they try to get him to join with the group. Butters turns them down because he loves life to be in a group that was always complaining and hating life. Stan was confused by this because Butters got his heart ripped out. Butters simply explains that even though he is sad about the break up, but that still makes him happy because that there was something that made him so happy at one point and when it was taken away that it made him sad about it. Butters continues that with that going on that it makes him feel alive, that it makes him feel human. It is what he calls a beautiful sadness.
Why is it worth sharing?
I thought about how I feel when I am sad and at the moment of sadness that I just want it to go away and I don't care how. But when I see this picture above, it makes since what Butters meant and that I do feel alive because I have all these emotions and I'm able to express them. I see posts on facebook and hear how people talk about how horrible life is because they are lacking something in their lives (mostly not being able to have a girlfriend/boyfriend) and that they do everything in their power to keep themselves from ever being happy. And because they are not happy, these people will complain how they are unhappy and that there is nothing that will ever make them happy. Outsiders will try to help them and cheer them up, and it will work a total of ten minutes and they are back to being depressed. After reading that picture, it made me realized that we forget that even though we are sad, but that just means that there was something that made us really happy and that we are alive to feel such heartbreak and that we are human.
Word of Advice:
I would never think that South Park gave a good advice, but they did. Overall we need to remember that it is okay to feel sad but just know that we will be okay. We need to work through it and not push everyone who is trying to help us up.
