>>7368464It's at times like these that you should realize life us a package deal. Life is not about experiencing only what makes you happy. Life is not about anything, actually. Because to live is to be, not to be about. Thus the answer becomes more clear, living is being happy despite the sadness that will assail you. Find joy in what is joyous, life is true, flaming, beauty and it is all around us in everything we see. A blue sky, green grass; even in dark clouds and cold pavement. Just breathing and eating and drinking are things to marvel at.
There is nothing that can break a person, the body may be abused and tormented, the mind may be misdirected and brought to illness, but the spirit always remains. Living. So long as your heart beats, and your breath passes, you are alive.
There is nothing better.
