only if



we are born to be happy
...or we are born to suffer.
we are born to conquer
...or we are born to be defeated.

i don't know.

one thing i do know...
if we only add "with others" behind each sentence,
it would make a lot more sense.

"All the joy the world contains
Has come through wishing happiness for others.
All the misery the world contains
Has come through wanting pleasure for oneself."
