i believe that a great amount of people derive a certain comfort, and even pleasure, from sustaining themselves in misery. only a rare portion extend his or herself towards true expansion of understanding. what's the appeal of the misery mentality? i've heard there is safety and security involved in it. i've also heard that fear and laziness play a part. this isn't really philosophy, so i put this here.

i don't know anyone who's miserable. i don't think i've ever heard of anyone being miserable. i think it's just exaggeration. people should just setttttttle downnn.

who knows? I think we can all go there sometimes. There is no human condition that we can not potentially share, as we are also human. It's hard to see the otherside of hopelessness - when ur in it

I stay away from the people who are constantly miserable. Why would I want to subject myself to that kind of attitude all the time? Sure, it can happen every once in a while to anyone, but that's not the case for all. I do think some find comfort in being that way. It gives them a reason not to have to put any effort into putting themselves out there to make changes.

i think sometimes miserable people are like fireplaces that are started to burn your mantle-piece. very destructive and often very pretty.

What he really meant to say was how much he loves marshmallows, but he couldn't find the right words.

I have been told over and over that I have every right to be mad at the world and miserable but that's just not me. I may get irritated or upset occasionally but who doesn't? I try not to associate with people who have only negative things to say.

misery is over-rated
