This is exactly what Hanson's interview was about.

It was a lovely morning and I was full of simple joy. But if you need it, the depth of this post is in the audio clip. I found the interview very interesting, clear and well-reasoned.

In Jail? Hardly any bills to pay. Terminally ill? Lucky to have lived so long when others are killed in wars. Victim of horrendous injustice? You survived something where a lesser person would not have done so. Fat? A sure sign you could afford to eat. Stuck in a refugee camp? You are still alive. Every person has the inner strength to make a new life with a more positive outlook if they want to. Unfortunately some people delight in pretending to be miserable. This is their choice, not mine.MLM247https://www.blogger.com/profile/06365562372896637044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519638191408360845.post-70898403584673240862014-01-06T14:03:00.273+13:002014-01-06T14:03:00.273+13:00We all have different dispositions.
