There is so much unhappiness in the world, wondering, bowing his head to the tragic thought, and he cannot do nothing against anyone's unhappiness, least against his own unhappiness.

In Joseph Heller's "Catch-22," the protagonist grapples with the pervasive unhappiness that envelops people around him. This sense of despair is overwhelming, leading to introspection and a feeling of helplessness in the face of such suffering. The protagonist acknowledges the tragic nature of existence, recognizing that he is unable to alleviate the pain of others or even confront his own sorrows.

This reflection on unhappiness underscores the broader themes of the book, illustrating the struggles faced by individuals amid the absurdities of war and life. Heller masterfully portrays the characters' internal battles, revealing how the weight of despair can lead to a sense of profound isolation and futility.
