@Mindfulness ...which is what the rich have been telling the poor for years.
@SomeMichGuy or you can just rage against it I guess. 🤷♂️

@Mindfulness Not raging against it. There are a lot of philosophical stances which appear compelling for people in the middle, either socioeconomically or morally/ethically, etc.
Lots of lovely photos with some sentiments imposes fall into this category. If they are meaningful to you, or whomever, great.
But if you imagine telling this to someone who is hungry all the time, has no safe/secure/solid/sealed habitation, and very little income that [i]they[/i] are the authors of their happiness or lack of happiness...
Well, [u]for those people[/u], the message seems hollow, not deep, and even unsympathetic to the actual plight of a real person who likely did NOT chose to be destitute, homeless, and ever hungry.

@SomeMichGuy I've made a mental note not to post a meme if someone says they're hungry. Thank you for enlightening me.
