"I can't be responsible for everybody else's happiness." The author of this quote isn't anonymous to me, but I know he would appreciate not being assigned to this quote. He had a valid point though. Everyone seemed to expect him to make their miserable lives easier or happier, one way or another, as he became more and more unhappy in his own. Finally, one day he threw up his arms in disgust and this line of truth issued forth from his pie hole. Well, who can blame him? I hear his type of story from lots of folks, time and time again. I also hear the other side, wondering why some so-and-so is making life so hard or miserable, or why others just can't let them be happy. The question was actually put to me, "Why don't they want me to be happy?" Well, I don't know and, in all reality, I don't really care. What I'm hearing is masochism; you letting someone else control your misery.
