A Thought For Thursday

If we want to know what happiness is we must seek it, not as if it were a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but among human beings who are living richly and fully the good life. If you observe a really happy man you will find him building a boat, writing a symphony, educating his son, growing double dahlias in his garden. He will not be searching for happiness as if it were a collar button that has rolled under the radiator. He will have become aware that he is happy in the course of living twenty-four crowded hours of the day...

To find happiness we must seek for it in a focus outside ourselves...

No one has learned the meaning of living until he has surrendered his ego to the service of his fellow-men.

- W. Beran Wolfe, How to Be Happy Though Human, 1931
