The Pursuit of Happiness


We all want to be happy. The question is, how? As philosopher John Stuart Mill pointed out: ”Ask yourself whether you are happy and you cease to be so.”

Certainly, this holds truth, as anyone who has become preoccupied with the question can attest. Yet the question must be asked. After all, we are given this one life as we know it, and to spend it unhappily seems a terrible waste.
