But tresearch shows there are pathways through the heartache.Listening to sad music is a major one.It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again.It can arouse the desire'to connect with others. Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart.A recent study from Germany found the emotional influence of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of empathy ()and a desire for positive connection with others.That,itself,is psychologically healing.It draws you away from concentration on yourself, and possibly towards helping others in need of comfort. Another experiment,from the University of Kent,found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was "beautiful but sad"improved their mood.In fact,it did so when the person.first consciously accept the situation eausing their sadness,and then began listening to the sad music.That is,when they intended that the sad music-might help,they found that it did. These findings link with other studies that show accepting your sad situation'emotionally leads to healing and growth beyond.it.It seems unbelievable but it 'does make sense.For example,research from Comell University found that accepting discomfort about a life experience or new situation,and viewing it as a step towards growth and change,encourages people to find a pathway through it,beyond it.As Churchill famously said,"If you're going through hell,keep going."That discomort points you towards creating a plan,a new action. It brings hope. 32.What can we learn from Paragraph 3&4? A.Sad music can make people help others. B.Sad music can make sad people feel better. C Sad music can make people believe in themselves.
