I think I agree with the denotation of a lot of this, but I don’t quite agree with the connotation of the use of the word ‘sad’
For instance, when I was having problems finding a romantic partner, getting sad alone was useless. Being determined to not make the same mistakes again and continuing to try was helpful. But I distinctly recall that being separate and distinct from the sadness, and the sadness was something which I was overdoing to my detriment.
I mean, I feel like you could say “Don’t worry about things you can’t change. Worry about things you can change in such a way to make your future better without unnecessary worry.” and that would have a similar denotation to the above points, but it would seem to have a substantially better connotation to me.
