Pain And Evolution

|
| Every happy person has had pain. | |
| If pain invalidated happiness, very few people could say that they're happy. | |
| Pain is the opposite of happiness is unhappiness, not pain. | |
| Do you ever look around at random people and wonder what the cause they're bearing is? | |
| Well, I'll tell you that this will humanize me even further, which is fine. | |
| So I remember at the most painful moments of my life... | |
| Driving on a freeway in California, looking at all the cars going in the other direction thinking, they don't have problems. | |
| I have problems. | |
| It's so easy. | |
| Of course it is. | |
| Well, that's the great, you know the Helen Telushkin line, right? | |
| Yes, it's a great one. | |
| The only happy people I know are people I don't know well. | |
| Well, here's another consolation, and it harkens back to even if you're in a period that you wish were different, appreciate the era that you're in. | |
| I had a friend say to me recently that we were talking about if something romantically would percolate for one of us. | |
| I forget. | |
| This was a few months ago. | |
| She said, on both of the individuals' ends, the situation is evolving. | |
| And I thought, I love that word, evolving. | |
| Because a consolation for you in your life is that life is always changing. | |
| You are not going to be in the same place a year from now as you are today. | |
| Because you, hopefully... | |
| You're endeavoring to do better with your life, but also things around you are changing. | |
| Like, you could get a call that you're fired from your job, or you could get a call that you're transferred, or you could get a call from another company. | |
| Life is constantly evolving around you. | |
| Hopefully not just you, but other people. | |
| And you actually don't know what could happen, for the better or for the worse. | |
| Does that make any sense? | |
| Yeah, of course. | |
| And so people go, oh God, I'm going to be stuck in this forever. | |
