I am unhappy, I say.

That is a poor choice, they say.

The parameters for choosing are poor, I say.

Choose better, they say.

Give me better options to choose from, I say.

We are not in charge of the available options, they say.

Then you cannot help me, I say.

We can exhort you to do better, they say.

How does that help? I say.

It helps in some cases, they say.

I need more, I say.

I know you can do more, I say.

Very well, they say.

We will compel you to happiness, they say,
if it kills you.
