Quote by Robert Anthony
Most people would rather be certain they're miserable, than risk being happy.
Summary
This quote suggests that people often choose to remain in a state of misery because it offers them a sense of certainty, rather than taking the risk of pursuing happiness. It implies that some individuals find comfort in familiar and predictable unhappiness, as the unknown elements and potential disappointments associated with happiness feel riskier. Whether due to fear of change, past disappointments, or fear of the unknown, people may resist the pursuit of happiness in favor of the certainty provided by their misery.
