Who goes up, must come down.
Contentment or Happiness? The difference is like the slow bloom of dawn versus switching on a floodlight, in perpetual darkness. ... and it is never enough. Trying! Desperate to stave off withdrawal of happiness. Being happy, if it occurs at all, is increasingly short lived.
