Desperation is like stealing from the Mafia: you stand a good chance of attracting the wrong attention.
Happiness in the present is only shattered by comparison with the past.[only if the past was better...if it was worse then you feel good that life is getting better]
Beauty is variable, ugliness is constant.
To awake from death is to die in peace.
It's not a question of happiness, it's a requirement. Consider the alternative.
Death is feared as birth is forgotten.
