Quotables

I… keep remembering a simple idea my friend Darcy once told me – that all the sorrow and trouble of the world is caused by unhappy people.  Not only in the big, global Hitler ‘n’ Stalin picture, but also on the smallest personal level.


So true!  My first thought is that sour and nasty co-worker.  You know, the petty one who takes smug satisfaction in snide comments and anything else that makes others uncomfortable.  She's unhappy.  

But there's not much I can do about her, other than try to treat her with compassion.

My big goal is not to be that unhappy person or not to let my unhappiness spill over onto other people.

  1. I think that's a fantastic goal & one more people should strive for. :)
