"The fact that you got a little happier today doesn’t change the fact that you also became a little sadder. Every day you become a little more of both, which means that right now, at this exact moment, you’re the happiest and the saddest you’ve ever been in your whole life.”
“How do you know?”
“Think about it. Have you ever been happier than right now, lying here in the grass?”
“I guess not. No.”
“And have you ever been sadder?”
“No.”
“It isn’t like that for everyone, you now. Some people, like your sister, just get happier and happier every day. And some people, like Beyla Asch, just get sadder and sadder. And some people, like you, get both.”
“What about you? Are you the happiest and saddest right now that you’ve ever been?”
“Of course I am.”
“Why?”
“Because nothing makes me happier and nothing makes me sadder than you.
- The history of Love
Because when you're intoxicated, you tend to spill. You feel more liberal. Spill all the little deep secret thoughts that swirl around your head, or speak of how you feel. Moment of truth. When you're intoxicated, your personal filter becomes more flexible. You don't hold back words that might be good/bad for you. And it's true. Alcohol is bad for you.
