“Everything is at once so simple and so complicated! It's simple because all it takes is a change of attitude:
I'm not going to look for happiness anymore.
From now on, I'm independent; I see life through my eyes and not through other peo-ple's. I'm going in search of the adventure of being alive.
And it's complicated: Why am I not looking for happiness when everyone has taught me that happiness is the only goal worth pursuing? Why am I going to risk taking a path that no one else is taking?
After all, what is happiness?
Love, they tell me. But love doesn't bring and never has brought happiness. On the contrary, it's a constant state of anxiety,”
