My spirits lifted to the point where it felt like I was being strangled. My breaths were so close apart. It's kinda returning now that I'm typing it, but it sort of raised a question in my mind. I believe happiness is most achieved through pursuit and desire. If we never suffered then we couldn't feel happy. =/ the end?
