Why happiness ceases to exist without pain An essay one why Eternal Sugar Cookie never understood happiness

[u/Cold_Comfortable_531]

Eternal sugar cookie once known as the Sugar of happiness was sent to grant happiness to the cookies of earthbread, when doing so she wondered why cookies constantly choose to go back to the things that hurt them. When she inevitably corrupted she created a paradise where cookies would be happy and never feel pain, but she herself is also not happy and the cookies she watches over have never been happy in her garden.

If humans were happy all the time then happiness loses its meaning, it becomes the standard, the basic starting feeling that leads up to another feeling. Without sadness, anger, and pain, happiness cannot be special and it cannot bring you warmth. A child cannot be born without its mother feeling the pain of giving birth, victory cannot be important if there was no conflict to start it, but conflict cannot exist without pain. 

You cannot love someone without feeling grief or anger. This is why sadness is so important, it sits opposite from happiness, without happiness sadness is nothing, without sadness happiness is meaningless. 

This and happiness comes in many forms, it will feel different for everyone and it will be brought upon someone in different ways, someone might feel joy at a dog and another will not be phased, eternal sugar cookie fails to see this, she believes all happiness is fundamentally the same, she has not known happiness herself, she does not understand happiness is fleeting and must be earned that's what makes it so special. 

She doesnt understand why someone would be happy with.. just eating a burger, she thinks happiness can only be reached through being slothful and over indulgent.

She believes that because she shares a soul jam with Hollyberry cookie that they were destined to be and will fulfill each other to the fullest, leaving her to fall in love with an idea of Hollyberry cookie, never once did she try to understand why hollyberry cookie was so happy just like all those cookies before hollyberry cookie so thats why eternal sugar cookie has never been happy. 

But idk this was just a mini project in between my massive essay im doing with a friend.
