"私たちは自分自身の不幸を作り出しています。苦しみの目的は、それを引き起こすのは私たち自身であることを理解するのを助けることです。"
— Willie Nelson
Simplified Meaning:
People often feel unhappy because of their own choices and thoughts. Imagine a person who keeps thinking negative thoughts about themselves. Because of this, they feel sad and stressed even if there are many good things in their life. The idea here is that suffering or feeling unhappy can teach us to see how we are causing these feelings ourselves. For example, if someone always thinks they are not good enough, they will feel down even if they actually are doing well. By recognizing that these thoughts or attitudes are the problem, they can start to change how they think and feel better. In other words, understanding that we are the ones making ourselves unhappy is the first step to finding happiness.
