There is a kind of dour, emotionally-stunted, unimaginative
personality that can't recognize or comprehend the full spectrum
of human experience and, in particular, reacts to others'
happiness, enthusiasm, and enjoyment of life as if witnessing
the breakdown of civilization. These perpetually unhappy
characters are quick to perceive any outward expression of
excitement or happiness as pathological. They often react the
same way when faced with other's grief or sadness. For them,
the only acceptable emotion seems to be anger, and the only
appropriate modes of expression are disdain and mockery.
Few of us would wish to live such miserable, limited lives.
