“Today was the absolute worst day ever
So don't try to convince me that
There's something good in every day
Because, when you take a closer look,
This world is a pretty evil place.
Even if
Some goodness does shine through once in a while
Satisfaction and happiness don't last.
And it's not true that
It's all in the heart and mind
Because
True happiness can be obtained
Only if one's surroundings are good
It's not true good exists
I'm sure you can agree that
My reality
Creates
My attitude
It's all beyond my control
And you'll never in a million years hear me say that
Today was a good day

NOW, if you've read this far, re-read it from the bottom up. It's ALWAYS about perspective and attitude. When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. ♥️”

Marie Curie

The real hopeless victims of mental illness are to be found among those who appear to be most normal. Many of them are normal because they are so well adjusted to our mode of existence, because their human voice has been silenced so early in their lives, that they do not even struggle or suffer or develop symptoms as the neurotic does.

They are normal not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word; they are normal only in relation to a profoundly abnormal society. Their perfect adjustment to that abnormal society is a measure of their mental sickness. These millions of abnormally normal people, living without fuss in a society to which, if they were fully human beings, they ought not to be adjusted.”

― Aldous Huxley
