Are you Distorted?


So many people are most miserable these days.
The reason they find it so difficult to be happy is that they always view the past to be better than it was, the present dramatically worse than it is, and the future less resolute than it will be.
The idea of happiness is foreign to them. 
Is this not something that is innate because babies are born with
"tabula rasa" which refers to the epistemological idea that individuals are born without built-in mental content and that therefore all knowledge comes from experience or perception. However I don't disagree with the doctrine of Innatism which holds that the mind is born already in possession of certain knowledge.
A smile, for instance is natural and innate! 
So it is a combination of the two schools of thought.
 
It is unfortunate that the negativity experienced over rides the beautiful positives.
How can so many people
be so distorted?
I believe it stems from family dysfunctions.
