Emotional Stories: Why People Try to Steal Your Joy
Remember, those who try to destroy your happiness do it out of jealousy.
People who attack your joy are rarely thinking about you at all. They are focused on their own dissatisfaction, their own regrets, and the emptiness they feel inside. Your success, peace, or contentment only reminds them of what they lack.
Their negativity is a reflection of their misery, not a reflection of your worth. They try to drag you down because they cannot lift themselves up.
Don’t let their envy steal your light. Protect your happiness, rise above the noise, and keep moving forward. The more you shine, the smaller their bitterness becomes.

Lessons from History: Emotional Stories of Loyalty
In Homer’s Odyssey, written nearly 2,800 years ago, one of the most emotional moments happens when Odysseus finally returns home after twenty long years. To protect himself from enemies, he comes back in disguise, dressed as a poor beggar. No one recognizes him—not his servants, not his family, not even the people living in his own house.
Lying outside, neglected and weak, is Argos, the dog Odysseus raised as a puppy. Argos has grown old while waiting for his master’s return. Though his body is failing, his loyalty remains strong. The moment Odysseus passes by, Argos recognizes him instantly. He lifts his head, wags his tail, and knows his master is finally home.
Odysseus feels deep pain but cannot respond without revealing himself. He walks on in silence. Argos passes away right after, having waited his entire life for that one final moment of recognition.
