Why Can't "I" Be Happy? Article

[Hope2011]

After three months from the break-up and everything in my life collapsed on me, I have been trying to move on with life and not think of my ex.

 

For those of you who haven't read my story --

 

 

I have been going through the roller coaster of emotions and beating myself up. But like many members, I have been thinking about my ex a lot. It's this thinking that has caused a lot of pain. The rememacing of what was, what could have been, what is my ex doing, if she happy, if she is thinking about me, etc.

 

I then came to a question-- why can't I be happy? It was with this question that I went on a search. This search led me to the following article, which I want to share with everyone. It's a very lengthy article but that has different perspective of how to look at suffering and happiness.
