Bye Bye Misery

“You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving. The great acts of love are done by those who are habitually performing small acts of kindness. We pardon to the extent that we love. Love is knowing that even when you are alone, you will never be lonely again. & great happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved. Loved for ourselves. & even loved in spite of ourselves.” -Victor Hugo, Les Miserables

Misery does indeed love company.

But instead of permanently being sucked down into the muck of misery…What if instead, you resolve to do everything you possibly can to not only get yourself out of the muck…But also, to then reach down and pull up your companions with you.

One by one. Working together. Helping each other through it.

Soon enough, there will be no one left. And misery will be all alone, by itself, where it belongs.

Bye bye misery.

P.S. – Speaking of bye bye’s, perhaps the greatest musical number ever captured on film.
