Happiness and sadness are both wonderful, are both welcome.
But in some deep sense, sadness is a little better than happiness. It teaches us a little more than happiness does. It elevates us a little more than happiness does. It has a certain purifying effect that happiness does not quite have.
That does not mean happiness is unwelcome. Both are welcome. Happiness is welcome, equally welcome.
