C.s. LewisI have learned now that while those who speak about one's miseries usually hurt, those who keep silence hurt more.
About This Quote
It is easy to complain and find fault in the world. It is much harder to take action and change the things we can change. The hardest part of life isn’t necessarily the journey, but the fact that we must face the difficult challenges-the hurdles we must overcome-and do so alone. We think that those who talk about their miseries will help us.
In reality, they only guilt us into doing the same thing. The silence hurts more than just about anything else.
