Really true principle.. Making someone unhappy won't automatically give you the chance to be happy.. Happiness comes from within and everyone else has a part to play in it. Some days our happiness can be affected by the words of other people, we now live in a world where people don't mind the impact of their words on other people..they just say it because they know it will make you unhappy.... But at the end of the day, it's still in your hands either to unhappy because of their words... Or to be happy because you know it makes you feel good.
I'd rather choose to be happy!
