Well, unrequited love can be a common theme. Imagine a person loving someone deeply but that love is never returned. It creates a deep well of sadness. Betrayal is also a theme. For example, a person being betrayed by a very close friend can lead to a very sad and deep - rooted emotional pain. And then there is the theme of helplessness. When someone is in a difficult situation and can't do anything about it, like a patient with a terminal illness, it results in a sad deep story.
Loss is a very common theme. It could be the loss of a loved one, like in the story of the old man who lost his wife. Another theme is shattered dreams. Just like the young girl who couldn't pursue her dancing dream due to an accident. Also, abandonment is often seen, such as the dog being left by its owner.
One common theme is regret. People often look back at things they could have done differently and feel a deep sense of sadness. For instance, a student who didn't study hard enough and missed out on a great educational opportunity. Another theme is isolation. Feeling alone in the world, like an immigrant in a new country who has no friends or family around. This isolation can lead to some very sad and profound stories. And there's also the theme of injustice. When someone is treated unfairly, it can be a source of great sadness, as they struggle with the unfairness of their situation.
