What would a narrative of happiness be like? All that can be described is what prepares it, and then what destroys it. The Immoralist
“let us thank God for having made us this gift of death, so that life is to have meaning; of night, that day is to have meaning; silence, that speech is to have meaning; illness, that health is to have meaning; war, that peace is to have meaning. Let us give thanks to Him for having given us weariness and pain, so that rest and joy are to have meaning. Let us give thanks to him, whose wisdom is infinite.” Leo Africanus
Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure. The Alchemist
