Help Cynical Me Find Happiness! A very special Pearls Before Swine Puzzle by Rat Stephan says, "No roads lead there, do they?" Rat says, "Hey. I said I was cynical." Pig says, "I will find a way!!"
Actually, there’s no requirement that you can’t cross the lines or have to start where Rat is or stay within 2 dimensions (although all 3 are implied). So what Rat’s really saying is that happiness requires thinking outside the box.
One must seek happiness, happiness is an emotion like sadness and anger. Emotion is not a state of being. They are the result of events that happen. What one must seek is contentment. When one reaches contentment, there is nothing else to seek.

It’s possible with creativity. If you put it in 3D, there could be holes in the bottom of the wall(s), so if you can put it in 3D, it is possible.
