Excerpt from The Comforts of Human Life; Or Smiles and Laughter of Charles Chearful and Martin Merryfellow: In Seven Dialogues
It is the pleasing apologue of Trajano Boccalini; that, "to a famous Critic who presented all the faults of a celebrated poet to Apollo, - Apollo gave a sack of undressed wheat, - desired the Critic to separate the chaff from the wheat, - and when the good man had, with solemn and impatient industry, done so, bestowed on him, the chaff for his pains."
Nearly similar, I much suspect, is the fate of those who have peculiar quick-sightedness to discern the minute and evanescent miseries of human existence, that elude the grosser sense of the great body of mankind.

The book explores the idea that the key to a happier life lies not in avoiding the petty annoyances of daily life, but in learning to appreciate them. This book is a thought-provoking and entertaining read for anyone who has ever wondered why bad things happen to good people, and what they can do to make the best of a bad situation.
