“I’d far rather be happy than right any day."

“And are you?”

“No. That’s where it all falls down, of course.”

― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

isn’t the monks response inherently political? are we to assume he himself is not happy?

Think like a scientist and you can have both. Being happy to learn you are wrong because otherwise would be inconclusive.

The aesthetic lifestyle is one of divorcing oneself from the world in order to achieve the nirvana of oblivion.

It is less the secret to happiness and more the secret to the absence of sadness.

Me not posting about politics makes everyone happy, because I despise and criticize Trump. I also despise and criticize the Democrats.

So you’re welcome.
