The Road to Happiness

  •  

    It is a commonplace among moralists that you can not get happiness by it. This applies only if you pursue recklessly. Monte Carlo players have the money, and most of them lose their place, but there are other ways to find money, and often succeeds. The same goes for happiness. If you take a drink, they forget the hangover.

    Epicure is tracked through the life of society and not pleasant to eat only dry bread, a little cheese added on vacation. His method was a success in your case, but was sick, and most people need something stronger.

    For most people, the pursuit of happiness, unless supplemented in various ways, is too abstract and theoretical to be sufficient as a rule of life.
    But I can think that what can the rule of life, choose not to be, except in exceptional cases and heroic, is incompatible with the happiness.If look at the men and women who will call you, you will find it have certain things in common. The most important of them is an activity that gradually build most anything you happy to see come into existence.
     Women who enjoy their children instinctively to this kind of satisfaction, a family. Artists and authors and scientists to obtain happiness in this way if their own work they want. But there are many smaller forms of the same kind of pleasure. Many men who spend their lives devoted, in the city of their weekends to voluntary work in their gardens, and when spring comes, you can enjoy, create beauty to enjoy.

    The whole subject of happiness, in my opinion, a less solemn. It was assumed that no man can be happy without a theory of life or religion. Might have to be unhappy with a bad theory, a better theory to restore them, as you can a tonic, when they were sick. Should but when things are normally a healthy person are] without a tonic and happy without a theory. There are simple things that really matter.

    When a man enjoys his wife and children to be successful at work, and takes a liking to the alternation of day and night, spring and fall, those who rejoice that his philosophy will be. If on the other hand, is fatal to his wife, the unbearable noise of the children, and the office into a nightmare when, during the day, which aims at night, and the sighs of the night the light of day, then you need is not a new philosophy, a new regime, but the different regimes, or more exercise, or whatever.

    The man is an animal, and his happiness depends on your physiology more than he might think. This conclusion is modest, but I can not believe I did. Business people unhappy, I want to increase their luck imagine walking six miles every day as a change in philosophy.
