R.D. is sad and said so. I said back:
Art is the answer, or at least an answer. If done right, it can give you the relief a pearl gives an oyster – the indifference celebrated as nirvana, scorned as acedia. But do it wrong and you risk enlightenment, which may make things far worse.

Everything is relative. Perhaps the key is not in finding happiness but finding other states less sad even if unhappy.
Anonymous is right. Bertrand Russell used to say that all we can do is raise our suffering to a higher level – suffer an ethical crisis rather than suffer hunger, that kind of thing.
to have a hope: that's happiness!
