the problem with people is this we cannot be happy no matter how hard or easy we try it is not to be it seems sometimes that just as the dog was made for jumping in mud and sniffing out foxholes and having a good time all around man was made for sadness loneliness and heartache being the observant and judgmental people they are people have for a long time tried to figure out why they are not happy some say it is because we're obviously doing something wrong some say it is because we think too much some insist that it is because other people have more stuff than we do these people do not have a clue any more than any of the rest of us at least i do not think they do and that's good enough for me 1 i think that the reason why people are unhappy and this is a personal opinion is that they realize on some level for some it is a pretty shallow level others it is way down there next to their love for women's stockings2 that there is no background to put themselves against no big picture to get painted into this makes sense because on one level the level of everyday life the level of observation there is always a background look in a pair of binoculars sometime but on another level that of shit wait there are no other levels 3 what's more people try to explain how to get happy again although it is doubtful they were ever happy in the first place people are very good at fooling some say standing or sitting in a building with a lot of other unhappy people helps some say that you ca not stop there you also need to sing with those other unhappy people about how unhappy you are and how you wish someone would come along and help you out i guess by giving you money or something i say all you really need to be happy is a good stiff drink 4 in any case people have for some reason or another and to some end or another always been unhappy and people have always tried to figure out ways to be less unhappy one of the most important things to people everywhere is called the pursuit of happiness i think that calling it a pursuit makes people feel more like dogs who are the most happy beings most people can think of by pursuing happiness they're like a dog pursuing a possum or a bone on a fishing rod two activities that sound like a lot of fun to most people i think most people wish they were dogs mankind it should be noted that he is an alcoholic and not in any shape to be an example to anyone here referenced yes this is just like super mario brothers you can skip right to the end go and face the final boss already
