Being satisfied, loving your partner, being satisfied with your job, loving life, having fun, being happy. Aren’t you tired? Surely you are. Happiness has no history, unhappiness is history itself. Do you want to become an artist but are too cheerful? Today the overman gives you the chance to become unhappy by following a few simple rules. If you have already made some of them yours, all you have to do is work hard to collect the ones you are missing. The transformation into a deeply unhappy person is guaranteed in about a couple of days. How wonderful it will be to have the unrivaled charm of the melancholic, the bum of life; sad for no reason but precisely for this reason so tormented and cursed. Maybe you will discover that you can sublimate unhappiness through art and thus become great painters or writers. In short, no academy will ever be able to replace a beautiful and healthy endogenous depression. Happy reading.
