Please choose to be less miserable

I was just reading a blog I often like to read and someone posted a comment to the writer, "Please choose to be less miserable". Some people can be so mean. And stupid. Not that I think being miserable is in itself a good thing, but I do think that thinking deeply about the world and not pretending or forcing yourself to be happy is a positive and cathartic thing. I don't think that by blocking out the miserable, we can be happy. I remember not so long ago I wished for no negative thoughts as a new year's resolution! It's just impossible though. And anyone who manages that must be putting themselves under enormous pressure to conceal it all. It's those that endure great hardship and suffering that truly learn to live in the world with grace. Because they no longer avoid things they hate or fear. They learn to live with themselves as they are right here and right now.
Anyway, I cut my hair and am listening to my ipod on shuffle mode. Babyatom sure is right!
