I've reached the opinion that only stupid people can be happy. There's too many things wrong in the world for anyone with any intelligence to have lasting happiness. So I (as someone who consideres himself to have some intelligence) gave up on lasting happiness a long time ago. Sometimes I think I might've made the wrong choice, but I can't go back. I just don't see happiness being in the picture; happiness is a final state, it means you are content with things. I'll be happy when I'm dead. Until then, there's always something that can be improved/changed/accomplished.
