Why Does Thinking Hard Make One Sad?

It seems that in general, thinking hard makes a person sad. People who think in the moment tend to be a lot happier than those who think about 1,000 issues at a time. Mentally retarded people are oftentimes very happy people, for this reason. Why is it the case, though? Why am I happy when I clear my head, but immediately saddened when I start thinking too hard? Why does thinking hard inevitably lead to negative thoughts?
