Happiness is much easier than most people think.

Frankly, all you have to do is stop caring so much.

It's nothing like a coin purse you can tie and untie as you please.

[synanthrope]

What makes you think that?

[a_parting_word]

Experience.

[feigns]

[ HE TRIED THAT it didn't work very well. ]

And that results in happiness, does it?

[synanthrope]

Well it certainly results in a lack of stress.

[feigns]

I found it to be remarkably exhausting.

[worldofourown]

But if one does that...

Wouldn't one cease to live?

[Karl likes his emotions. They're all that keep him going.]

[synanthrope]

Is your ability to breathe tied to your ability to feel?

[worldofourown]

For some of us...

Yes.

To cease to feel, is to cease to be.

[alwaystreasured]

The accuracy is rather startling.

[synanthrope]

I'm sure if you took the time to know me, you would not be so startled.

Hello, Professor Snape.

[alwaystreasured]

Hello. Cursed, I presume?

[dignity_misery]

You're right, it was better when I didn't care.

[Hiding your face won't make you sound less pathetic, Carla.]

[synanthrope]

And now you do.

[dignity_misery]

Things used to be... clean, and make sense.

[intheblanks]

You're right.

[synanthrope]

of course I am.

[anunluckypenny]

I don't think that always has to be true. Sometimes, I think, caring even makes me happier.

[synanthrope]

It makes everything more involved.

[anunluckypenny]

Involved isn't a bad thing.

[coyote_walking]

You may have a point.

[synanthrope]

Of course I do.

[coyote_walking]

Everything's easier if you just don't care.

Of course, then, nothing has any meaning, so...

[blonderazorshiv]

Even about your cars?

[synanthrope]

My cars can't get emotionally involved, Mr. Blonde.
