if you want to seriously entertain the possibility of unhappiness, you must entertain the possibility of being happy.

"are you saying that the unhappiest people are those most concerned with their happiness?"

obvs most people who are miserable think about how miserable they are

the point is if you want to take misery seriously, you should take your happiness just as seriously: you can change over night. you can wake up happy.

if you can't seriously hope for that, you shouldn't be so seriously bemoaning your life: its all worth it, so get involved.

to be serious about nonsense like love, you must be serious about nonsense like loneliness.

Until you can reconcile your pessimism with your optimism, and forget about both, you will be in the delusion of war forever.
