1) MELANCHOLICS ANONYMOUS:
...So, anyone who has a tendency to be afraid of new situations and challenges, finds that they dwell on things for a long time in their mind, and is a perfectionist because they long for the ideal....feel free to join this group...
...A neat quote about Melancholics:
"At the core of his heart there is always a certain sadness, ‘a weeping of the heart,’ not because the melancholic is sick or morbid, as many claim, but because he is permeated with a strong longing for an ultimate good (God) and eternity, and feels continually hampered by earthly and temporal affairs and impeded in his cravings. The melancholic is a stranger here below and feels homesick for God and eternity."...
2) THE MELANCHOLIC TEMPERAMENT:
Most people strive towards to a singular mental state: Happiness in all its forms (happy, joyous, love, comfort).
Humans, however, are colored by thousands of unique states of mind, and some of us find it wasteful to only enjoy one state. We fall in love with our sadness, enjoy the bittersweet taste of melancholy, and bathe in the fire of anger. We feel content in all our moods, often seeing things as foils and balance.
Variety is the spice of life, so we drink it all in.
