My dear,

Happiness is something you achieve, a constant thing. A constantly turning over thing, like a small plant that has flowers constantly blooming and dying on the same stem.

It’s not like you achieve happiness this one time and it just stays with you forever.

You don’t bake a cake because a cake makes you happy, you don’t bake that one cake because you baked this cake or bought that car you wanted to get. You’ve always wanted this car, you got the car, now you’re happy forever… no.”

Falsely yours,
Maynard Keenan
