Unhappiness isn't just the RESULT of genetics or PAST trauma or career trouble. I think that some of our unhappiness is simply DUE to the BURDEN of all our things.
My childhood GAVE me a very powerful sense of being spooked. I didn't know whether what I was SEEING were sensory IMAGES of other PEOPLE's unhappiness. Perhaps that was just the way the WORLD manifested itself to me.
I often THINK you bring unhappiness on yourself, because if you don't LIKE yourself very much, you ALLOW yourself to be influenced by people who reinforce that.
