so I talked about the colonisation of Mars. Apparently it might be possible to plant simple life forms like lichen, and then, later, hardy trees, and over the course of thousands of years an oxygen-based atmosphere could develop. The temperature would rise, and in time it could be a beautiful place. Clarissa stared through the windscreen and the road rolling under our feet and, to the left and right, the thickening fields and the cow parsley just out along the hedgerows. 'What's the point? It's beautiful here and we're still unhappy.

She is flooded with heat and warmth, alive with a pleasure both utterly familiar but completely new. She wants to weep with happiness, and to laugh with the uncomplicated joy of life. If she has ever felt happier, she cannot immediately bring it to mind. If the angels were to carry her away this very moment--and if her heart rate was anything to go by that was a possibility--she would have let them scoop her up, while she thanked the heavens for a life well lived.
"How was it?" asks Bogdan, his hand stroking her hair.
"It was OK," says Donna. "For a first time.

Girl...
Lemme just go ‘head and let life be good.
Let life show me how safe it is to
bask in happiness,
shine in who I am,
bathe in long laughter with friends
and, give the present a real good look.
Nah, I’m playin’

I choose life to be good.
I choose to laze about in happiness with my house shoes on,
shine in the me I know best,
Breathe slowly in tear-eyed cackles
while knowing the present is a safe spot
to rub my feet together in.

Pfft, let.

As a species, we don't really seem cut out for happiness. So if I had to guess...I'd say that we were put on Earth to grow. To discover ourselves. To find the lives that fit us. Or, if not...then to at least find some people with whom we can enjoy the lack of answers.

I am interested in human happiness, sir, in the better understanding of what it is and how it may be achieved. I wish to explore whether it is a state which arises from the chance convergence of circumstances, or whether it is a condition we may will ourselves to possess. I want to understand how we may recognise it when it is within our grasp and in what ways we can learn to live without it if we are not lucky enough to experience it.

MASHA:
Happy is he who doesn’t notice whether it's winter or summer. If I were in Moscow, I think I wouldn’t mind about the weather.

VERSHININ:
Just recently I read the prison memoirs of a French minister — he was imprisoned over the Panama affair. He describes with such ecstasy the little birds he could see through the prison window, which he had never noticed before when he was a minister. Now that he is free again, he notices them no more. And so it will be with you when you live in Moscow — you won’t notice it. There is no happiness, nor should there be; we can only long for it.
