A short rant: Too many people are overly concerned with happiness. Are you happy? Have you found your bliss? Bullshit. Happiness is just one piece of life, no more important than any other. Beauty encompasses all of the slivers of life, including happiness.
Let me ask you this: Have you found your frustration? your joy? your depression? anticipation? sadness? guilt? hope? faith? redemption? peace? rage? Throw it all into one big bowl, mix it up, and call yourself a human.
An excerpt from "Invasion" by Robinson Jeffers (with apologies because the full lines don't fit on the little blogger screen):
… I believe that the beauty and nothing else is what
things are formed for. Certainly the world
Was not constructed for happiness nor love nor wisdom. No, nor for pain,
hatred and folly. All these
Have their seasons; and in the long year they balance each other, they
cancel out. But the beauty stands.
