What I mean to say is that it will be a source of happiness for happy people and a source of further unhappiness for those who have chosen to be unhappy.
From Slacktivist. I’m more interested in the intent and worldview embedded in that statement than the actual text of the entry (which I’ve not yet fully read). Happy people are happy, but unhappy people have chosen unhappiness.
Of course, I think we choose happiness, as well. A lot of whether we are happy or unhappy is in the magic of how we interpret events. We get to choose and control that, and this quote tells me that I’m not alone in that view.
Which makes me happy. (Or rather, which I choose to interpret in a happy way.)
