Happiness

Happiness in this world , comes incidentally .

Make it the object of pursuit , and it leads us to a wild goose chase , and is never attained .

Follow some other object , and very possibly we may find that we have caught happiness without dreaming of it .

It's the paradox of life ; the way to miss pleasure is to seek it first .

The very first condition of lasting happiness is that a life should be full of purpose ,aiming at something outside self.
As a matter of experience , we find that true happiness comes in seeking other things , in the complex activities of life, in the healthful outgoing of all human powers............
