was there ever a man on this earth
who could say he was happy,
who knew happiness, true happiness,
not an image, a dream,
an illusion, a vision, which could disappear?
your example...
your example, your fate, your disaster,
show us that none of us mortals
ever knew, ever felt what happiness truly is.
~Sophocles' Oedipus Rex/ Oedpius Tyrannus
