sure they’re miserable. life is often miserable. who said they were supposed to be happy? the purpose of life is to fulfill your duty, not be happy constantly. moreover, their happiness will vary over time. it’s like in 5 years the whole situation will be different.

show me in the wedding vows where its expected anyone is happy.

don’t you think that would be covered if it had any importance whatsoever?

i’m not even sure the human individual matters. they should each think of themselves as human sacrifices.
