“You know why they have trouble defining it? Same reason I just gave you! You can’t define happiness by itself. It’s just the opposite of a bundle of different things – of pain, sorrow, fear, loss, depression, anxiety, discomfort. That clusterfuck of painful shit. “Like think about the times you were happiest. You succeed after failing over and over again at something? You get some presents on a birthday? You get married? Have a kid? Have a cheat day on your diet? In other words, the absence of failure, of want, of loneliness, of lack of purpose, and of hunger.”
