HIM: Independent or not, what I've made for myself is at least the most comfortable. HIM INDEPENDENT OR NOT WHAT I'VE MADE FOR MYSELF IS AT LEAST THE MOST COMFORTABLE
nd my delight makes talking difficult. HIM: You people are so very odd! ME: And you are creatures who well deserve to be pitied if you can't see how we've raised ourselves above our fate and that it's impossible to be unhappy under the shelter of two fine actions like the ones I've just mentioned. HIM: Well, that's a type of happiness which I'll find it difficult to get familiar with, because we meet it rarely. But, according to you, should we then be decent people? ME: To be happy? Yes, certainly. HIM: But I see countless decent people who are not happy, and countless people who are happy without being decent. ME: So it seems to you. HIM: But isn't it because I had some common sense and candour for a moment that I have no idea where to get a meal this evening? ME: Not at all. The reason is you've not had those qualities all along. It's because you didn't realize early on that it's first necessary to create options for yourself which will make you independent, free from serving others.
