Albert Camus, happiness, quote

"The solidarity of bodies, unity at the center of the mortal and suffering flesh. This is what we are and nothing else. We are this plus human genius in all its forms, from the child to Einstein. 
No, … it is not humiliating to be unhappy. Physical suffering is sometimes humiliating, but the suffering of being cannot be, it is life. … What you must do now is nothing more than live like everybody else. You deserve, by what you are, a happiness, a fullness that few people know. Yet today this fullness is not dead, it is a part of life and, to its credit, it reigns over you whether you want it to or not. But in the coming days you must live alone, with this hole, this painful memory. This lifelessness that we all carry inside of us — by us, I mean to say those who are not taken to the height of happiness, and who painfully remember another kind of happiness that goes beyond the memory. 
Sometimes, for violent minds, the time that we tear off for work, that is torn away from time, is the best. An unfortunate passion."
Well, this is why we usually have a cup of coffee instead of shooting us in the head, else one cannot talk about usually anymore.
And me, not so unwell and not so happy but with all this memory of other happiness from life and karma, i'm going to lit a fire, took timber inside, so, and have a little vodka with lemon and aperol. unhappiness is part of happiness, and that's all.
