Description: This theory aims to understand what sadness is at its core, and try to explain what is the true cause of sadness. I one day had a hypothesis: Sadness is caused by the loss of an imagined future. I tried to find an example of sadness occuring without the loss of an imagined future, and I failed. This led me to create this quick theory.
