Ironic Happiness

In Phantom of the Opera there is a part where the Phantom is singing above the stage on a statue of something that is happy while he is singing about something extremely sad.  Is this what life is about?  No one wants to be unhappy, so whenever people make you unhappy it is always their fault.  But who says that one has to be happy or sad?  Why can't people just be there?  No one wants to be unhappy, so they ignore the people that are or try to make them feel better.  Usually feeling better means making them happy.  No one knows what it is to make others happy.  No one knows what is good for other people.  We hardly know what is good for ourselves. 

Unhappiness can be good.  So can happiness.  They each have their place.  Let it come.

Thanks to the one person who cares.  As much as a person can care.
