The key to happiness is simply this:

Life is short.

You will die.

No one owes you anything in this world.

And there is no key to happiness.

And most of you will die miserable and alone.

There. Now you have all been informed.

[The sound of clapping, slow and steady.]

Bravo...

A jewel of reasoning, amid barrels of waste.

[deathofdelilah]

Ah, how good to see that someone enjoyed it.

[worldofourown]

How could I not, when my ears have so far been inflicted with saccharine untruths.

[deathofdelilah]

Too many here in the community favor sweet promises rather than harsh realities.

[worldofourown]

The truth will dawn on them, soon enough.

[A chuckle.]

Whether they accept it, or not.

[deathofdelilah]

Oh, it always does. Particularly on death beds.

[worldofourown]

Death needn't always come in their beds.

[Karl smirks.]

[worldofourown]

~On the contrary.

One simply has to look close enough.

Perhaps I will keep your observations in mind for the future.
