emotional miser

A person who doesn't give much to others on an emotional level. He or she may be socially adept and charming and quite generous in other ways, but not when it comes to investing love and trust and friendship in fellow human beings. It could be a form of self-defense or it could be a kind of selfishness, or both. The pop cultural consensus is that emotional misers are missing out on the essential human experience by their disconnection. A common story arc features an emotional miser's transformation into a loving, connected, happier person -- often against his or her own will.

Ryan Bingham (George Clooney's character in Up in the Air) and Will Freeman (Hugh Grant's character in About a Boy) are examples of emotional misers in film and literature.

mister miyagi

Badass lunatic life teacher for Whinelelson in the first 3 karate kid movies. Not only was he untouchable in a fighting (save one Chozen cheapshot in karate kid 2), he was able to put up with Whinelelson's constant crying and moaning through 3 feature length motion pictures.

The other night mister miyagi put me in an arm bar while he made passionate love to my wife and it was the most beautiful thing I ever saw.

equal misery

The supreme balance achieved only when professional, social and family interactions reach equally profound levels of distaste and offense.

Yo! It's celebration time y'all! Timmy has finally reached equal misery! Now he's genuinely depressed at work, at home and at the bar... YAY!!

not worth the misery

A position of intentional reserve and calm stability; having learned through personal experience the abject futility, emotional exhaustion and disappointment sustained in attempting to influence another individuals thoughts, words or deeds.

So, I've just given up trying to get people to stop smoking, texting/drinking-and-driving, bullying others and farting in public...its just not worth the misery.
