It doesn't have to be sobeit.

Excuses. Excuses. Excuses. I hear so many excuses why unhappy people don't change their lives. So that they become reasonably happy. They don't have to become ecstatically happy. Just enough to get out of the doldrums. Instead, they are bogged down in their unhappiness. It takes too much gumption, I guess, to climb out. Too much mental and emotional and physical effort. Or maybe it's because they have insufficent chemical/hormonal make-up. The wrong genes. Always, there are excuses. Maybe some of 'em valid. Others not. All I'm saying is that many unhappy people don't have to stay unhappy. They have choices. They can become happy again. With a little bit of effort. Or maybe a whole lot of effort. But it can be done. Where there's a will, there's a way. Of course, I concede there may not be a will. Some people prefer to stay unhappy. Rather than extend the effort. Sobeit. But it doesn't have to be sobeit. --Jim Broede
