You don't get it.

Suffering is one thing. We sometimes can't avoid suffering.

But sadness is a choice. There are many people who suffer terribly, but they can still find joy in their lives.

You have no idea whether I have had good or bad fortune in your life. You have no idea whether I am healthy or suffering from a very painful, incurable disease. You have no idea whether I am financially secure, or an in the throes of economic ruin.

But you do know that I am not sad.
