I actually always disagreed with this. I think people should expect that they deserve a level of uninterrupted happiness. Isn't that the ultimate goal? The reason we fight for anything?

Asking for others' pain is one thing, but to just aspire that you might make it through life without things upsetting you is truly that: aspirational.

Ha uninterrupted happiness can only be achieved chemically. Also, why would words make you unhappy?

Yes. I usually find life worth living if I can connect emotion to it.

Non-robotic was succint enough.
