200 years of love and pain

The Google Ngram for love vs pain is helpful obviously:



I complained, nagged, wept almost all my life.

there are some moments of bubbliness now and then.

But, I missed really good opportunities to be genuinely happy.

Fortunately google is here to help me see I'm not alone.

200 years of good writing, all to see we use 'love' -not so suprisingly- less and focus on the dreadful arrogance of 'pain'.

today I made a -not so convincing- promise to write down LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE 5 times a day.

maybe it will help change the course of history.


At least we have some good news, the word 'happiness' is on the rise too

Maybe I can replace some drama with this thought.
