Member Quotes About Wished For

I’ll only wish ill on myself today, for when I wished for good, bad came my way. —Mirza Ghalib, Urdu couplet, loose translation by Michael R. Burch

Wanting happiness is overrated, as it usually is the end goal. Wouldn't it be more entertaining, if people wished for calamity instead? By the time we are all happy, it'd be boring. With events at every corner, we'd never be bored. Maybe things are the way they are for a reason, and maybe it's okay to be selfish once in a while. We can't make everyone happy after all.
