Eckhart Tolle argues that daily unhappiness rarely comes from what's actually happening around you. Instead, it comes from the story you tell yourself about who you are and what your life means. Most people don't realize they're generating their own suffering.
A great degree of unhappiness in humans that they live with on a daily basis does not arise from the situations they find themselves in. A greater amount of unhappiness arises that is created by an unhappy narrative in their minds. Which they call me and my life. And they don't know that.
