“The problem is that we’ve been taught that happiness is a state that is achieved and once you have it you get to keep it, when really happiness is a few brief moments or hours or days disbursed throughout a lifetime of anxiety or misery or mundane life or boredom or indifference or acceptance. Life sucks pretty thoroughly. That’s why you have to totally go AFTER the great things like falling in love.”
