Quote by Russell Baker

Misery no longer loves company. Nowadays it insists on it.

Misery no longer loves company. Nowadays it insists on it.

Summary

This quote suggests that people in the modern era have adopted a different attitude towards their suffering. While traditionally, misery found solace in the companionship of others going through similar experiences, today it demands that others share in its misery. It implies a shift towards a mentality where individuals not only seek comfort in knowing they are not alone in their pain but also expect others to experience similar levels of misery or hardship. This could be indicative of a growing trend of seeking validation through shared suffering rather than seeking support or solutions to alleviate individual misery.

The gross national product does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education or the joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of our poetry, or the strength of our marriages, the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials. It measures neither our wit nor our courage, neither our wisdom nor our devotion to our country. It measures everything, in short, except that which makes life worthwhile
