The road to happiness


There are a great many people who have all the material conditions of


happiness. For example health and sufficient income and who nevertheless are


profoundly unhappy. In such cases, it would seem as if the fault must lie


with the wrong theory as to how to live. In one sense, we may say that any


theory as to how to live is wrong, we imagine ourselves more different from


the animals than we are. Animals live on imports and they are happy as long


as the external conditions are favorable. If you have a cat, it will enjoy


life if it has food and warmth and opportunities for the occasional light on


the ties. Your needs are more complex than those of your cat but they still


have their basis on instinct. In civilized 1 societies, especially in English


speaking societies, this is too apt to be forgotten. People proposed to


themselves someone paramount 2 objective and restrain all imposes that do not


minister to them. A business man maybe so anxious to grow rich that to this


end he sacrifice his health and private affections when at last he becomes


rich, no pleasure remains 3 to him except hearing other people by exaltations


to immitate his noble example. Many rich ladies although nature has not


indult them with any spontaneous pleasure in the literature or art, decide


to be thought cultured and spend boring hours learning the right thing to


say about fashionable new books lead a reason to give delight not to afford


opportunities for dirtiest sno bism.
