Is it OK to feel sad ? & Satisfaction

We are not robots so we are not supposed to be any way specifically. Sadness and everything else is fine. The states of sadness can sometimes be productive in self realization etc, but one must not allow this to get them into a depressed state which one gains nothing from.

For a human to be healthy they have to have all these emotions. A general positive and productive mindset is however the best.
 
The key is equilibrium, and to allow yourself to be sad, happy etc, with a voluntary "When and How much". To be happy is a skill as well as being sad, in terms of self-contemplation in the realization of it.

Knowing yourself you know your own pulse in these states, so knowing yourself you improve yourself dealing with these states. You do not change the reaction of yourself that causes these states but only how you manage yourself in those states.
 
There really isn't an ok or not ok in this you feel what you feel. Just go with what you feel unless your feeling like harming yourself or something.

I personally feel kind of a sadness more about the state the world is in but I feel happy and mostly satisfied at the same time about my own life. So this is possible.
 
If Nature gives you things, then use those things. Obviously and of course it's OK, but there is no "permission" to be emotional.
 
There is something called Samsara. This is the feeling of cyclicality that you experience when you put Suffering and Happiness in perspective. Because Human consciousness is trapped within the mind, we are unable to oftentimes put things into perspective. And because of this, most humans are generally unaware of what's going on in their lives. They are simply acting on impulse and are rationalizing it through the higher brain.

But if you are special, you start to put things into perspective and realize the transience of live. All the experiences of your life have already been experienced by you in varying degrees in your previous lifetimes. You have fallen in love, you have hated something or someone, you've been devoted, you've been lazy ,you experienced all the emotions of life that is possible currently in your life.

At this point an individual faces the existential depression of the soul ,that was phased out through the human world and its emotions before. You start looking at the abyss and the abyss starts looking back at you ,as Nietzsche said. You start asking questions like "Why am i doing this, what's the point ,I've done this many a times before."

You can then either turn into a philosopher and end up wasting another lifetime, or you can gain a Will to Power through Yoga and actually do something about this Samsara.

Every person has the power to transcend the duality of this life and liberate Himself through the Cyclical process of reincarnation through Yoga. You can accept life as it is, and strive towards the real issue and fixing it.

The serpent is the Answer.

I don't think there is an exact black-and-white, one-size-fits-all, clear-cut answer. Of course germs are Natural. I should have been clearer - meaning that for us to be able to, and actually, advance, it is/should be unnatural for us to have unhealthy germs, given our purpose and Satan and the Gods' and Goddesses' intentions for us to be healthy and strong. ("Good bacteria", which exist, was a slogan in an advert for pro-biotic drinks.) Also along the lines of positive affirmations, while also not deluding ourselves, we speak positivity into us repeatedly. It's also for the healthy Psychological impact it has upon us.
