Happiness is always short-lived, just like sugar, it is only momentarily sweet. After melting, not even a trace of sweetness will survive, as if it had never appeared, and there is no trace to be found. If this is the case, would you rather not have it than have regrets? Because it is a feeling that can torture people to death...
The only surviving pride does not require repeated attacks over time. Perhaps a word, a look, or a feeling can cause it to collapse and cease to exist.
However, for too many things, we can guess the beginning, but we can never guess the ending. Too much love, we thought it would last forever, but we gradually forgot each other in the world of mortals.
