• [18] There was this anime which, aside from humor, held a valuable item for me. This quote, "Not all people can become happy. Because happiness corrupts people. We adapt to the happiness we obtained once, and pursue even greater happiness. We're greedy, aren't we? That's why people are able to feel pain. If people don't feel sad, they won't know what happiness is. Despite the contradiction." Numbness, apathy. Emotion and empathy. Do these work the same way? The person I'm quoting hated the unstable nature of emotion. They preferred to just exist, passively and apathetically. ..It seems redundant to say, because I've thought this so many times. I don't want to "just exist". This apathetic life is dry and distasteful. Mundane. Routine. Naturally, as the antagonist, this person was wrong.. Looking at it now it sounds like they were describing an addiction. More! The reality, as the anime tried to portray, is that happiness doesn't work quite like this. It can't quite be measured. I interpret it as a status. The idea was, if you're not alone, peace can be found even while you're sad. Because of Love. And this is as far as I'm going to take it. Logic cannot be easily applied to emotion in general. To "figure out" Love by such an approach is madness. . . Sometimes, it strikes me as truly strange that I'm an artist. Maybe because artist as a mindset and artist as an occupation are completely different things. Yet if you asked me, neither trait can survive alone.
