About This Quote
Women invented misery, but we don't understand it. When a woman has a difficult time, it seems to be a universal experience for all women. However, because men tend to be more logical and less emotional, they have a tendency to blame the difficulties of their lives on other people or events instead of recognizing that their emotions are driving them. It's been said that "Women invented misery," but because we don't understand it, we're not able to get rid of it. In order to truly seek happiness, we must first learn to recognize our own emotions.
