The Happy Man (go back »)

If you observe a happy man you will find him building a boat, writing a symphony, educating his son, growing double dahlias in his garden, or looking for a dinosaur eggs in the Gobi desert.  He will not be searching for happiness as if it were a collar button that has rolled under the radiator.  He will be striving for it as if it were a goal in itself, nor will he be seeking for it amog the nebulous wastes of metaphysics.

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

[W. Beran Wolfe]
