About This Quote

For others, life can be a painful experience. When a person is very sad, they become a burden to the rest of the world. They will feel depressed and have no motivation to do anything. However, when a person is very happy they have a positive attitude and are able to see the good in things.

For example, if a person is very sad they may get angry at people who keep them from reaching their full potential. In contrast, if a person is very happy they may find humor in situations where others would find it depressing or irritating.
