Misery Loves Company???

I wonder how the term "Misery Loves Company" came into existence as it really does not make much sense to me. When i happen to meet friends who are miserable, I see no point in joining them to wallow in unhappiness.

Instead, wouldn't it be more beneficial to try to cheer them up and bring them out of their bad mood? Of course, the task of making someone else happy is indeed a elusive art and may require persistence to ensure success. I don't know about you, but being able to cheer up somebody else always makes my day! =)

Similarly, whenever I feel down in the dumps, I would very much prefer the people around me not to join me in my foul mood but least maintain an aura of positivity so that I will recover soon and revert back to my normal jovial self =P

PS: My sentence construction and choice of words in this post seems to be absolutely dreadful.
