Alain de Botton

Unrequited love may be painful, but it is safely painful, because it does not involve inflicting damage on anyone but oneself, a private pain that is as bittersweet as it is self-induced.

I would say, stay the hell away from the party scene.

One man's joy will make everyone smile.

You cannot help him anymore. And you are hurting yourself. In fact, you should be getting his rations...
