I'm not sure Andy Kaufman ever existed. I think it was one of his elaborate hoaxes.
Happiness like anger or sadness is an emotional state. Something that is fleeting and trivial. I'd much rather be content and satisfied. Some of those old sods lost to drugs and Alzheimer's seem quite happy, quite a lot of the time.

On the contrary, I have such unreasonable, unachievable expectations that there is no way I can take them seriously, thus leaving me free not to worry about not "being all I can be."Rum wrote:Low expectations.

My favorite is "The Mediocre Gatsby."
As for Dickens, I think the sequel to Tale of Two Cities, though, began "It was the o.k. times, it was the pretty good times..."

Re: How to be happy?
Don't cling. To anything. Even life. You can't own anything lastingly; you can't achieve anyting lasting, because you're going to die. Just pay attention to shit as it arises and passes. Figure out how to be satisfied with just this fleeing experience of life. It's pretty damned wonderful without trying to cling to anyting or try to make it permanent.

Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.
