For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death.God will use different tools to reach people, depending on their resistance or openness to him. One of those tools can be sorrow, a long-term sadness. This is designed to make us think, and realize that our sorrow is due to the lack of trust in God that He works all things for what in the end will be good for His people.
If we do not draw this lesson, sorrow can increase to the point of death. Either you will carry the sorrow with you until you die, or perhaps you fall into depression and cause your own death. I fear that I've taken the wrong path on some things in my life, and turned to sorrow instead of to God.
