What exactly happens in our brain that makes us “get over” an emotion like sadness or grief?

The question says it all. Human emotions (sadness, grief, happiness, etc.) can be very strong, but they also “fade away” over time. We explicitly remember all the details surrounding the emotion, but the emotion itself isn’t felt any more. What really happens in our brains to make this happen?

Well, jankydog, you see…we never really “get over” things with our brains because our brain isn’t a golf cart. You can crash a golf cart into a tree, or spin out in a bunker, or try to jump the river, but, you’re in a golf cart. Your brain is in you. You are in the golf cart. Your brain is in the golf cart. But your brain is not the golf cart. So you gotta make sure to wear a helmet. Mmmk. Always remember to wear the helmet over your brain when driving or riding in a golf cart. Cuz, if you don’t, there might be an accident and your brains will be outside of where your helmet should’ve been,,,and that’s just, not good. So..if you don’t have your brain, then, you really won’t need to like, ya know, know the answer to your question about what exactly happens in our brains that makes us “get over” an emotion like,,, such n such. But, since you’re only 5, I mean, I guess you won’t be in any golf carts for awhile, but you know, remember what I said…
