Bigger kick

[Bernard Marx]

Yes, I quit smoking 8 months ago after a really long time. They were killing me - as you know only too well. I patted myself on the back and got much healthier. Here's the thing: This is so much better! Why am I patting myself on the back? I am no hero. I am worse than I was before when I was smoking. I am indulging myself with very little guilt and no real consequences and feeling superior to boot! It's just weird.

Congrats on kicking the habit!

Thanks. Although I don't deserve it.

Is what the founding fathers meant by "the pursuit of happiness."

I'm pretty sure the guilt comes from my mother.
