Wonka said this is because when the MLC is miserable, they want you to be as well. To them it's just not "fair" that you have fun when you are causing them so much pain.
You're pretty close, Matt. Cannot expect you to remember my exact words.
While I was in my MLC, I was miserable and depressed. When Ms. Wonka did her GAL stuff and being happy, it got my nose out of joint because why should she be having fun while I'm so damned miserable??!! So we say things or do stuff to knock them down a peg just to make ourselves feel a bit better about our circumstances. It is not because you are the cause of our pain. Not the case for nearly all of MLCers.
You never are THE CAUSE of our pain. It is all internal. Sure, we finger you as the root cause of our pain because why else are we feeling so damned miserable all the time??!
You are tangible...so we assign blame squarely on your shoulders and we FLEE from the fire not realizing where the real smoke came from. We're dang good at running away!
