The illusion of love

"But it is nicer not to test it and to leave a crumb of hope, than to finally be convinced that happiness is an illusion which makes it easier to wake up, but it is still only an illusion."
When the author said this he was talking about how like humans, dogs are often beat as puppies to train them from right from wrong. He then talks about how happiness is a negative. Happiness is always just an illusion. Coming from a herion addict i get the quote above however, I think that his viewpoints would change after he was sober.  He then could understand that happiness is not an illusion. You need to create your own happiness rather than depending on other people to supply it for you.

It's interesting that the author said that happiness is only an illusion, I read somewhere online that people far too often depend on other people for their happiness. That once those people fade away or leave the happiness you once knew is gone. It almost seems a little ridiculous, right? Depending on other people around you to make you feel happiness. Which brings up the question: Can people be truly happy on their own? Can someone completely create happiness without the help of others? When the people around you leave, will you be left with only a dark shadow and the memories you once had of being happy?

At some point you're going to realize that happiness is not an illusion and it's not something you can depend on other people for. You can depend on people for a short amount of time but when they leave, you'e left with nothing. So at some point in your life you're going to realize this and you're going to be confused and lost about what happiness really means to you. I think that everyone is this world will go through this stage. I think it's rather important. Because, without sadness or the lack of happiness, how would you know when you are truly happy?
