“‘Do you know what separates humanity from the other beasts of this world?’

asked Lotus. ‘It’s not the ability to make tools or complex language or any of that other nonsense you tell yourselves. No, humans are unique in all this world because they’re the only creatures that can make themselves miserable. And do you know how you do that? You do it by expecting to be happy. You’re so busy thinking about happiness, obsessing about finding it and why it isn’t where you expect it to be, that you completely miss the point. The other creatures of this universe don’t go looking for happiness. They just expect to be, and that’s good enough.’”
