Nothing is miserable but what is thought so, and contrariwise, every estate is happy if he that bears it be content.
Boethius...Whose souls, albeit in a cloudy memory, yet seek back their good, but, like drunk men, know not the road home.
BoethiusBalance out the good things and the bad that have happened in your life and you will have to acknowledge that you are still way ahead. You are unhappy because you have lost those things in which you took pleasure? But you can also take comfort in the likelihood that what is now making you miserable will also pass away.
