"You hurt my feelings." Um, no you're just sensitive. "You made me cheat." No, your d*ck made you cheat. "You bit me" said the owner of a snake. Snake replied, "Well, what did you expect, I told you I was a snake."
Too many people put demands and responsibilities on others for what they are lacking inside. If you're a miserable person, it's not anyone else's fault. In extreme abuse cases, you see some people use that abuse and become powerful and inspirational people for others, and you see just the opposite...those who fall into a deep depression and can't get out of it because of the trauma they suffered.
Our happiness or lack thereof, comes from a command. YES, you CAN decide to be happy, just like you can decide to me miserable. It is just easier to have a pity party, and blame others than facing truth about ourselves many times.
There are people in prison who are truly at peace and live with abounding joy...same goes for starving children and those dying of cancer. There is this place inside us, where you can find that peace, but you will be alone for a while before you can get there.
