The Cure to Heartache

            It is essential to differentiate who can and cannot cause you misery. Once you love someone, they are immediately granted such power. Once they have that ability, it is up to you, the decider over your own emotion, on whether you will accept their pain, endure their misery or forego their telos altogether. Once this idea is in our mind, you make the decision on whether or not this person may remain in your life. Though true love never vanishes completely, the significance of it in relation to that jilted lover may fade, decreasing their power over your heart. It is by choice, not chance, that misery, heartache, and despair enter our lives. The titillating tale of a victim is that their misery is the fault of others and not themselves. They accuse others of throwing rocks at their glass house when it is by their own permission these people hold the stones in the first place. Truly, we are the cause of our own discontent. Until one realizes this, they are destined to remain a victim for the rest of their life. Therefore, in order to find happiness, we must be selective about who we love.
