Whereas it was used as an escape from the cruelties of the cynical world, as a refreshing moment to enjoy as opposed to everything else, in a world free of cynicism and pain it would no longer be something special or to be enjoyed, just another shade in this pointless grey reality of eternal sunshine. What's the point of happiness if you do not have anything to compare it to?
