HAPPINESS IS A PERMANENT STATE OF MERRY PLENITUDE; SUCH STATE IS IMPOSSIBLE IN THIS KOSMOS; THE KOSMOS IS IMPERMANENT, DEFICIENT, AND THE ONLY TYPE OF ACTUAL PLEASURE IS JOY, NOT MERRIMENT, SINCE MERRIMENT DERIVES DIRECTLY FROM PLENITUDE.

Many people struggle to find meaning in today's hellscape of a planet, but if you can that is what will bring you joy. Perhaps by pursuing that meaning you will become significant. Who knows.

How can one be happy and not great by their own estimation? The greatest greatness is the ability to endure existence while retaining yourself.
