[转帖]One Sentence

JOYPEACE

========

There are so many people who are miserable in this world.

You can't help but feel sorry for these people, for you look at
them and see hopelessness. Some people put on a front that
they're happy, and really they are sad.

I used to be one of those people.

It's funny that some people can be totally obsessed with movie
stars and celebrities. People think you're crazy, but sometimes
you can't help but be crazy about these people.

As funny as it sounds to have a singer for an idol, mine is
Janet Jackson. The reason for this is that she once said,

"There's nothing more depressing than having everything, and
still feeling sad."

When I heard her say this I couldn't help but look at my life
and wonder.

As I said, so many people are miserable, and I was one of them.

I had everything I could possibly want, and I was still miserable.

I had such horrible relationships with my friends and family;
the things I had didn't matter.

So, every time I hear people make fun of someone for who their
idol is. I can't help feeling grateful for the person who does
have an idol, because they have someone to learn from and to
help them grow.

It's funny how just one sentence can change your life.

I know one sentence changed mine.
