Intelligent Happiness
“What happens when someone holding a magnifying glass attempts to measure the sun?”
“Could you name one eternal truth?”
“I couldn’t. I would go crazy if I didn’t focus on the present moment…”
“I can name an eternal truth. You.”
Intelligent Happiness is a dark, first-person poetic novella which places you in the shoes of a rigidly principled narrator. His principles smash into the world around him, especially the target of his affection, until he unwinds into an obsession which brings down the walls of reality. This work may serve as a case study on the hypocrisy of both the lover and the beloved.
