> think positive, be happy!
This is correct. It is hard to do all the time. But it's a better way to live. Happiness / unhappiness is a choice (depression other mental illnessesses and additions are conditions to be treated, out of scope, it is not "unhappiness").
Think of it this way.
You can be poor, have kids to feed, homeless, whatever. And unhappy.
Or, can be poor, have kids to feed, homeless, whatever. And happy.
You can wallow in self-pity, blame yourself (or others, society) for your situation, be cynical and pessimistic. Or, be happy, see the positives, be optimistic, try and improve your situation.
- int_19h 4y agoWhat is your basis for the assertion that it's always a choice? If it's personal experience, have you considered that yours is not necessarily representative of other people's? Even if you were happy while being in a bad spot before, that doesn't automatically generalize even for yourself, much less for everyone else.
