The morning that you will feel better.

When something causes one to suffer, there is usually one thing one dreams about: the morning they will wake up and everything will be better. 

But there will be no such morning.

When you will get better, you will not notice it. It will be a blurry transition such that, one day, when peeling potatoes or gazing into nothingness, you will ask yourself, "Did I once feel so bad?", and some vague shudder will resonate through your torso. But you will not remember when or how you got better, when it was that your suffering dissipated. There will not come an instant when you leap out of bed and cry out, "finally, finally, my life has begun!".

It is as with everything else: there are no happy endings in life--only optimization.
