"If there is any sadness I make a strong effort to be free of it quickly,
otherwise it grows like a vine in the rainy season: by midday I will be
confused; by evening a whole jungle of weak, wasteful and negative
attitudes will have taken deep roots in my mind. The result equals
chaos. Sometimes I reach a stage where the attitude is: "So what if I
feel the blues today? It is my life; no one else will be affected".
Firstly, the more I allow myself to experience sorrow, the less time I
have available to be happy and contented. It sounds ridiculously
obvious, but am I aware of the value of happiness? It is an extremely
rare commodity, and the cost goes sky high. Secondly, is it my life?
Yes, I am living it, but am I not a member of a family or a co-worker
with others, and am I not part of society? If so, then every movement
affects and is affected by those around me." ~Thought for Today-UK
