“Money can’t buy happiness, but it can make you awfully comfortable while you’re being miserable.” Clare Boothe Luce
“ Anyone who says money doesn’t buy happiness doesn’t know where to shop.” Gertrude Stein
I clipped this comic on June 28, 2019. That seems a lot longer ago than fourteen months. I don’t know if I had anything else in mind other than it being an entree to sharing the witty quotes from Luce and Stein. But here’s what I’m thinking today, as the Age of Corona drags on. Miserable has lots of strains. It spreads easily. It likely mutates. Some folks are more at risk for infection. Misery can be more miserable for some than others. Treatments vary in effectiveness. We’re waiting for a vaccine. Maybe the philosopher George Santayana offered one up a long time ago. 20th century advice still works in the 21st century.
“There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval.” George Santayana
