Happily Depressed (Cellar Door)

I'm glad I held off on typing up this blog, because today in philosophy we covered Aristotle's theory of "happiness." He believed that happiness is sought through someone's full life: You aren't happy in the moment, but in the entirety of your life. At the end of your life, you must be good looking, with a successful job, wealth, material things, and everything that most people today believe connects to happiness. I don't know if I believe in that, but I do believe that happiness is thought through the last day of your life, and then put together from the day you were born.

I was watching Donnie Darko today, then you guys will know what the Cellar Door means.
