Jonathan Safran FoerThere are worse things, worse than being like us. Look, at least we're alive.
About This Quote
The most important thing in life is to be happy. There are millions of people who are living right now, but they are not happy. So, why not them? They are alive, but are not happy. Now if any one of them were able to see the future, he would destroy himself.
If he could hear our thoughts, he would commit suicide. Not everyone can be like us. The ideal man is not always happy or successful, but there are worse things than being like us.
Look at the animals; look at the ants; look at the flowers on earth; look at the stars in the sky; look at the sun and moon, they all differ from each other in some way or another.
