yea well i don't believe it because I was happy once.

You underestimate self-delusion.

And I am here to tell you that despite my unfulfilled desires, despite your pathetic attempts to demoralize, I am happy. Civilization is gay, but the world itself is not gay, and it's been an honor to be a part of it. You can hurt my body, but not my soul. I am at peace.

One of the great insights of psychoanalysis is that you never really want an object, you only want the wanting, which means the solution is to set your sights on an impossible ideal and work hard to reach it. You won't. That's not just okay, that's the point. It's ok if you fantasize about knowing kung fu if you then try to actually learn kung fu, eventually you will understand you can never really know kung fu, and then you will die. And it will have been worth it.

It's narcissism done the right way. And, I suspect, it's the secret to a meaningful life: picking an existence that is of value to more than just yourself, even if that existence defies the logic of reality-- your biology, your environment, and, of course, everyone else. And once you have chosen who you want to be, once you have defined the parameters of this life, you force it to be true, as real as any gene or social factor. And know that once you have invested your life in this identity, this existence-- all or nothing, even in the face of the doubt and terror that accompanies your "rational" self--- it will be impossible to fail.

>I'm here to tell you that even if you somehow got everything you ever wanted you would still be unhappy.
False. I would be happy if I got everything I wanted. This is your way of coping to believe that no matter what you will always be unhappy
