Happiness

"Happiness is an unachievable myth peddled by those who refuse to admit that the world's default state is misery" - exurb1a, Epsilon dies backwards

Why do we speak of those who choose to chase the neverending race of happiness as if they were fools and like we're on higher ground just because we acknowledge the misery that we're in and never escaping?

Why speak of it like it's wrong and fruitless?

Oh right, because life is ultimately misery after all.

Well you can have your higher knowledge of life's misery and not peddle in happiness then. I'd rather stay ignorant and seek small packets happiness where I can in life.

Maybe the point of this quote missed me. I don't know. But I'll keep peddling in what it calls a myth anyway.
