Misery

They say that misery loves company. We've heard this catchy, but horrible phrase our entire lives. The statement makes you wonder. Misery can be defined by a state or circumstance, but either way, it is always in relation to suffering. What is misery? And, why does it adore company? Well, the second question got me thinking...things cannot carry affection or attachment. Misery is not a what, it's a who.

People carry many things around with them. There's usually an abundance of good, bad and indifference mixed up inside. When a person has become overwhelmed with what they consider to be horrific agony, all of the good emotion can be lost in it. The company in question can only be addressed from something else we've all heard, which is, hurt people hurt people. So, if you are miserable you will, intentionally or not, make others mad; spreading hurt instead of love.

When you walk through a door, let people see love, not misery. Remember, God lives in each of us. If you are a person that is living in a state of misery, you are not alone. You may not instantly switch to sharing love, but try to because your efforts matter. Also, before you go to bed tonight say good-bye to misery. Unfortunately, bad things happen sometime, but we were not meant to torment ourselves with it for the rest of our lives. When you wake up thank God for a new day...then say hello to delight! Starting the day positive can make things better.

I wish you true joy, peace and love!
