Although, embracing (aren't you sick of embracing?) the alternative view, when TS Eliot wrote
'Ridiculous, the waste sad time, stretching before and after'
he was reflecting on the fact that for him unhappiness had been more authentic than happiness, and that had been a mistake.
Bertrand Russell concluded that the Eliots preferred to be unhappy. But hell, Bertrand Russell? You know about his family?I'm like that. I don't want to be happy. Or do I? Or do I not? Maybe I want revenge?
