No man can demonstrate peace and cling to unhappiness.

Ernest Holmes
About This Quote

One of the things that makes us human is the capacity to feel both happiness and sadness. When we are happy, we experience joy; when we are sad, we experience grief. However, there is a difference between sadness and unhappiness. Sadness is simply experiencing sadness.

It’s like feeling blue, but it’s not necessarily a bad thing. Unhappiness, on the other hand, is the feeling of discontent or restlessness that comes from an inner conflict that can be triggered by external factors.
