And it sounds like 'Oh that's so simple', because it's not simple to stop feeling sorry for yourself, it's bloody hard. Use the rest of the book to write down your interesting thoughts and drawings, and that's what the book would be, and it would be true. And people buy this huge book and it's all blank pages, and the first page would just say - ' Stop Feeling Sorry For Yourself - And you will be happy '. Audiences don't think you're a murderer if you play a murderer, but they do think you're gay if you play a gay. I almost once wanted to publish a self help book saying 'How To Be Happy by Stephen Fry : Guaranteed success'. People sometimes think I'm gay because I once played a gay in a movie. It's an appalling spectacle, and it's so self destructive. But, just occasionally there will be some example of the absolutely ravening self pity that they are capable of, and you see it in their talk shows. I think it's one of things we find unattractive about the american culture, a culture which I find mostly, extremely attractive, and I like americans and I love being in america. But, to pity oneself as a result of them is to do oneself an enormous disservice. And it's so simple to imagine that one is hard done by, and that things are unfair, and that one is underappreciated, and that if only one had had a chance at this, only one had had a chance at that, things would have gone better, you would be happier if only this, that one is unlucky. Self pity will destroy relationships, it'll destroy anything that's good, it will fulfill all the prophecies it makes and leave only itself. It is, to slightly paraphrase what Wilde said about hatred, and I think actually hatred's a subset of self pity and not the other way around - ' It destroys everything around it, except itself '. 'Find out who you are and be that person.

Self pity is the worst possible emotion anyone can have. 'Love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love.' Lin Manuel Miranda. More than pride, which is supposedly the number one of the cardinal sins - is self pity. And once you're done here, head on over to the GH Book Club to check out even more feel-good reads.“Certainly the most destructive vice if you like, that a person can have. Add them all to your own tbr list or pick up a few as the perfect gift for the book-lover in your life. We've got something for fans of thrillers and crime, romance novels, humor, standby classics, new releases and of course, literary fiction and memoir. And just like the rest of the literary canon, LGBTQ+ books come in all genres. All of us deserve to see our lived experiences reflected in the stories we love, and that's especially important for young people or those who can't express the fullness of their identity in their everyday lives. These books by gay authors and LGBTQ+ writers, as well as fantastic reads with characters who identify as part of the rainbow of identities the acronym encompasses, show us that our literary worlds can (and should!) be as beautifully diverse as the one we live in. But this increased visibility during Pride month shouldn't be a one-month thing - it's an opportunity to expand the diversity of our media consumption all year long. For 30 days, every product from T-shirts to bagels come in a rainbow motif in a nod toward supporting (and earning money from) the LGBTQ+ community. During Pride month every June, a lot of attention turns to LGBTQ+ culture, including its artists, creators and authors.
