Why do people wallow in self pity and saddness?

Wouldn't it be easier to ball your tears out, set your heart and mind and then move forward?

yes it would be easier... but some people sadly have been wallowing in the mud for so long that that is all they know.

@Justpeaceandlove: or maybe afraid to change

@DanGerUs: i'm thinking fear is the major factor.
Danez · M
@Justpeaceandlove: yup I think fear rules over everything and can easily push some people to stay in a comfy corner

@DanGerUs: it's always choice whether consciously or not. A study of the mind will tell you.

@Justpeaceandlove: absolutely! but I'm sure that there are some that never learned about their choices and just stick with what they know even if its sadness and pity... I for myself choose to avoid negativity and sadness because it can so easily consume me. I want better for my kids.

@DanGerUs: yes I understand that. I myself cannot be around it or listen too long before I fall into that trap.

There is so much help these days though but it a free will choice. I accept that.
