A man never is happy, but spends his whole life in striving after something which he thinks will make him so; he seldom attains his goal, and when he does, it is only to be disappointed; he is mostly shipwrecked in the end, and comes into harbor with mast and rigging gone. And then, it is all one whether he has been happy or miserable; for his life was never anything more than a present moment always vanishing; and now it is over. ✨ Arthur Schopenhauer (2014). Suffering, Suicide and Immortality: Eight Essays from The Parerga, p.21, Courier Corporation
