With, and without, reason

For those that live a joyous life without reason and never find it—those whose circumstances and emotional reactions to such circumstances consistently play in their favor throughout the course of their lives—may we celebrate them.

For those that live a miserable life without reason and never find it—those who are continually oppressed by circumstance and subjugated by their emotion—may we pity them.

For the rest of us who have found it, the choice between joy and misery—if there was ever a choice—is solely ours to make.
