Happiness is other people. (Sartre was only half-right).
I've never read it, although it sounds interesting.

And as far as I'm concerned, I'm no better than a slug...although I live in a nicer house and have a better line of bullshit.

If anything, the slug is better off than I, as he has no need or desire for either.

And personally, I think Sartre was more than half right. He just offered a dialectical theory which appeals more to introverts such as myself.
