Amid all this stuff sits the artist, drinking tea and dolefully declaring, "You think I'm happy, but I'm not. I'm totally miserable."

Decades of empirical data have revealed this idea for what it is: a damaging, destructive lie. As the enlightened, it is our sacred duty to debunk this myth wherever it occurs. Do not ignore those who spew this falsehood, but confront them with the truth—not their version of the truth warped by false lux but true veritas. A child’s future...
