Also ich finde ja folgende Textstelle aus "A Man without a Country" von Kurt Vonnegut erwähnenswert:
[...] But I had a good uncle, my late Uncle Alex. [...] He was well-read and wise. And his principal complaint about other human beings was that they so seldom noticed it when they were happy. So when we were drinking lemonade under the apple tree in the summer, say, and talking lazily about this and that, almost buzzing like honeybees, Uncle Alex would suddenly interrupt the agreeable blather to exclaim, "If this isn't nice, I don't know what is."
So I do the same now, and so do my kids and grandkids. And I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, "If this isn't nice, I don't know what is."
Wo er Recht hat, hat er Recht. Ich werde es mir zu Herzen nehmen!
(hier ist was nicht in Ordnung mit der Zitier-Funktion... bitte mal nachsehen, merci :)
