Christians who are neither of these may wonder the same about either.

Times Teachers Actually Feel Sad About Students Leaving
If you teach seniors, you have the “privilege” of not only saying goodbye to teaching them, but to saying goodbye to them as they leave school for the next stage of life. That brings a unique kind of sadness, and sometimes, joy.
