A hilarious bit from Louis C.K. that is actually pretty profound too. Are we giving ourselves bite-sized doses of happiness to avoid our actual sadness? And is this preventing us from feeling actual, genuine happiness?

It’s a fascinating thought, delivered as a joke. I admit that I check my phone far too often…but I also work hard to give myself moments to think to myself. Whether it be brainstorming, riding my bike somewhere, or just a few minutes sitting on the bus not distracting myself with anything, I think agree with Louis – the good comes with the bad.
