In short, it states that in order for one to attain a state of happiness, another must become unhappy. Here’s a few common examples:

• Your favorite basketball team won in the championship. This made you happy, but a fan of the opposing basketball team is of course sad.
• Your co-worker got a promotion. He’s happy, and you tell him that you are happy for him, but deep inside there’s a part of you that’s a little upset about it. That little part of you is saying that you’ll be happier if it’s you who got promoted and not him.
• When you stole money and bought whatever you want with it, your level of happiness will go up. Needless to say, the person whom you stole from will have his level of happiness going down.

You know, I can’t wrap my head around the idea that someone else needs to be distressed when you’re happy. I understand the concept of balance, but seriously, even in happiness? :( How about the parents’ joy when a new babe is born? Unless there’s a soap opera-ish twist in there, I guess it’s all just happiness. Or how about when you discover that the person you love returns your affection? Or when your sick mother wakes up from a month-long coma? Or that feeling you get when you just freaking buy the latest issue of your favorite comic book? I don’t know. What do you think?

THE RAVEN. Edgar Allan Poe didn’t earn a cent from his most famous poem, The Raven, having published it first in a newspaper for free and thereby losing any and all future copyright monies. The original title of The Raven was To Lenore but upon having dinner with Charles Dickens and learning of the great writer`s recently deceased pet bird, which just happened to be a raven, Poe reworked the poem to include the black bird as a central figure.

Poe wrote The Raven with the intent of creating what he called an “adult fairy tale” and when asked why he didn`t start the poem with the traditional “Once upon a time” but used “Once upon a midnight dreary” Poe replied, “In my `time` it`s always `midnight dreary.`” All of Poe`s stories took place at night, or if a day scene was required, it was the bleakest, foulest day of the year.
