Happiness is a Cigar called misery
A blank page in front of me, what to write? Happiness writes white, it doesn't show on the page. London Fields by Martin Amis. Mostly true of fiction in general. Novels and their Characters may be happy at junctures. Mostly though, it's misery.
The same with the news. Bad news sells Newspapers, unhappiness sells books. Maybe a generalisation, but I think this is the case, and it's jading my world view. I need to read about positive happenings and outcomes, they do exist.
