    Aug 13 2011: Do not be so deluded as to imagine that other people are responsible for your emotional well-being.

    This means people/things can't *make* you happy; only you can. Nothing makes you sad; you decide to do that. Sadness and anger may be appropriate, just realize that it is your choice to feel that way. And you can change your choices.
