"Mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation, and go on to the grave with the song still in them." And
"I know no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable
ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor."

zen's quiet desperation is in his psychopathy. But smart!
Alex' is in his deep pessimism/OCD. But has excellent look.
Deb's is in her ... envy. But has what all men want.

We all can elevate our lives by conscious endeavor and
taste true happiness before the end. Time left is short and once!
