“The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be.” - Marcel PagnolAnd I think the common problem we have is that we find it harder to be happy than sad. Even me, even everyone else. Are the happy things in life too

Because when people are sad, they often think the world's unfair, but when people are happy, they'd only think the world is fair, but not being in the better half of an unfair world. So if people only see happiness as the peak of a scale, as something normal, then what are the odds of being happy? And if so, wouldn't down be the only way this scale could go? =D

Your first comment! Yeh it's true, everything is true. And it's true to say how we don't know how to treasure too.

The thing is, why would we still see life this way when we know we'd see it this way. =D I mean Marcel Pagnol would be real disappointed if people see this quote and all they do is say it's true, wouldn't he?. because ain't it suppose to change our perspective of life? =DD

You even think of him! That's so cute ha ha. So from whenever anyone saw this quote they must change how they feel and think about life. Because life really isn't THAT bad. It depends on how bad you made it seemed to be. People don't change your lives, you change your lives yourself. So when you deem your life to be bad or sometimes worse, maybe it's not others, just yourself.

Yeah,and generally, quotes are suppose to make you feel better, not worse. =D
Because it tells you something that you didn't know, something valuable. =DD

Yeh and one day I want to have quotes with my name. I want to learn about the infinity of life. One day I want to leave a legacy, I want people to know that they're not alone in this life.
