Pain is easy to write. In pain, we're all drably individual. But what can one write about happiness?

addendum [10 april]:
the comments an apt quote could incite!

I am happy, and that is the point! how does one write about happiness? how can I convey it strongly enough to match my feelings? and, without veering into solipsism? for I am blissfully

funny i was just thinking about graham greene... watched city of god which is a more brutal brighton rock.

Only that it is elusive.

[reisende]

elusive, but worth the pain, ten, hundred times over. would you agree?

[blossomskies]

Is happiness meant to be shared? Maybe that's why..

[reisende]

haha. yes, why not? but happiness can be a very selfish concept too.

it is more like, no matter how I try, and even a novelist such as greene concedes, happiness just is not easy to write. that is happiness for you.

Hey, happy birthday! :D

less to be written about, more to be experienced?
bearing in mind that these words were written by a man who didn't shy away from experiencing gratification and seemed to have a good sense of humour.
