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]

Then we have different experiences.

[synanthrope]

Well it certainly results in a lack of stress.

[a_parting_word]

That's... if it's yielded you something worthwhile, then I'm happy for that.

[synanthrope]

What would you consider worthwhile?

[a_parting_word]

You're the one who can give that measure, aren't you? It's your own happiness.

[synanthrope]

I know mine. I'm asking for yours.

[a_parting_word]

I don't think I know enough to tell you.

[synanthrope]

No? Not even if I ask nicely?

[a_parting_word]

I'm afraid not all men know themselves that well.

[synanthrope]

That's unfortunate. You should find out.

You've spoken to me before.

[a_parting_word]

I didn't think doing so again would be a bother.

[synanthrope]

It's not. What's your name?

[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.

[synanthrope]

That certainly does explain matters.

[worldofourown]

Oh?

[A small smile.]

How so?

[synanthrope]

Your addiction to melodrama.

[a_parting_word]

That's something that should have gone said earlier, shouldn't it have?

Gilbert - Nightray.

[worldofourown]

Tsk.

How dull your life must be, without a touch of the dramatic to add zest.

[synanthrope]

It's hardly dull. Everyone puts on such a show for me.
