Sometimes I think if we didn’t have these problems the whole world would stop spinning on her axis, we’d all stop spinning on our axises, axes, or whatever you want to call them, and then we’d have to settle into the nasty business of finding a way to be happy. Daniel Clausen
About This Quote

When we look at the world around us, we see so many problems and so much suffering. If it weren’t for these problems, humanity wouldn’t have to work so hard to find ways of being happy. We all have things that cause us sorrow, but when we are able to set our minds on something positive, when we are able to focus on the good in life, when we are able to see the beauty in all of these problems, then we can rise above them.
