“The unhappiness of the bachelor, whether seeming or actual, is so easily guessed at by the world around him … he walks with his coat buttoned … his hat pulled down over his eyes, a false smile that has become natural to him is supposed to shield his mouth as his glasses do his eyes”.
- Franz Kafka

The unhappiness of a married man, is also easily guessed. His eyes have a desperation and frustration of a trapped animal, he is lost and confused, and doesn’t know what to do with himself, and engages himself in activities that give him minor and temporary pleasures and make him feel good about himself.
