The details of my afternoon and negative emotional transition are unremarkable, but what struck me was the abundance of misery that I’ve noticed while browsing my facebook and twitter feeds in the hour that followed:
“Depressed.”
“I don’t want to talk about it.”
“Depressed and despondent.”
“Go **** yourself, ***.”
On any other day, in my happiness or bliss, I don’t see these kinds of posts. Is everyone having a bad Sunday or does misery beget misery? Misery begets misery as happiness begets happiness and love begets love.
Smile and be happy. When you smile, others will smile back (unless you’re in a city in New England). Hug a friend; they will hug you back. Be happy and the world will give you good reason. Love the world and it will love you.
