"There can be no happiness if the things we believe in are different from the things we do."

"There can be no happiness if the things we believe in are different from the things we do." - Freya Madeline Stark (1893 - 1993) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freya_Stark was a British travel writer

No wonder I never felt happy as a member of the Morg. There were so many things that felt futile and against my inner beliefs, while there was almost no personal freedom to pursue the things I _did_ believe in.

My own addition

The one I like that is similar is, "The thing that makes us miserable is the difference between expectation, and reality".

While I completely agree with the statement, I'm left to wonder...

how many compromises Ms. Stark had to make in her life.
