Fran Lebowitz says something like, you make like the art but you may not actually want the artist over for dinner. Do you know what I mean?
Haha.. yknow what's funny.. something I've tried to tackle before- how can one be grateful when others around him are suffering? ..there's a kind of joy with gratefulness that seems like betrayal- like "how can you be happy when your friend is going through something?" Then amplify that to the world.. lols... and you'll never be happy again...
Which brings me to the meaning of life- or rather what it is not. Being happy is not the meaning of life. I know we are sold happiness as a byproduct of capitalism, thus hinting happiness as the goal, but really, being happy is not the meaning of life.
If you make happiness the goal of your life you will be incredibly miserable throughout your whole life.
Why?
Because...
