It is almost impossible for anyone, even the most ineffective among us, to continue to choose misery after becoming aware that it is a choice.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In this life, we have to make many choices. Some are very important choices. Some are not. Many of our choices are between good and evil. The choices we make, however, determine to a large extent our happiness or our unhappiness, because we have to live with the consequences of our choices.
Misery is almost always the result of thinking.
Misery is a communicable disease.
I believe happiness is a choice. Some days it is a very difficult choice.
My suggestion is that there's no way out of the human condition. Sex, death, marriage, children, parents, illness. There's no way out. They're a misery, all of them.
No matter how happy anyone is with their choices, I believe it's human nature to wonder about the path not taken.
I can choose to be happy, or choose to be miserable every day - waiting until I die.
No one is more miserable than the person who wills everything and can do nothing.
I have lived poverty. I didn't choose it. No one would choose humiliation, pain, and rage.
Misery's fine - as long as you know you can get out of it when you want to.
