Wallow For Health

There are usually two types of people in the world, different people break them down into different categories, for example I recently had a friend tell me that there were cell phone people and Ipod people. The cell phone people crave being connected all the time while the Ipod people were more solitary.

Tarantino via Pulp Fiction said there were Elvis people and Beatles people, a friend at work said there were people who wanted to have sex with Pam Anderson and those that lied about wanting to have sex with Pammy.

Well I guess my two types are those who love misery and those that love happiness. Now here is the weird part, EVERYONE wants to be happy! It is just that those who love misery are happy when they are unhappy, they kind of have their directions backwards.

They aren't sure how to be happy, maybe because no one has told them or taught them what happiness is and how to do it? Those who love happiness will wallow in a tough time but it is always temporary and short lived and then they are better for it. They see it as a natural part of the healing process and will soon look to get back up again and carry on, better than ever.

Those that love misery are happy as well but they are only comfortable with feelings that tend to hurt them. They will self destruct their jobs, relationships, finances, whatever it is that they can mess up to get those feelings of unhappiness back, that is what they do to feel misery or in their world happiness.

They don't realize that it is a cycle and that their definitions are messed up but somehow they manage it every time. Ever see someone go through many girlfriends and still not be happy even though they had some really nice, kind and sweet ones? And yet they manage to drive them all away.

So cheer up, if you are a happiness lover or a misery lover, well you are still happy, right?
