So, assuming you endorse this sentiment, do you advocate happiness becoming impossible? If not, then what? Might happiness occur when people are not “at ease”?
"—And such a state of things is evidently necessary; obviously the happy man is at ease only because the unhappy ones bear their burdens in silence, and if there were not this silence, happiness would be impossible." -Anton Chekhov, "Gooseberries"

Ivan Ivanych (Chekhov?) seems to be saying that you can’t see the truth and live, or at least be happy. Me? I’m ill-suited for a life of service without the balm of happiness. I can just hope to keep working at the blind spots, and do better. Great question!
