Actually, the pursuit of happiness can make one happy... lots of things can make a person happy
Quote:So either pursue feeling better and keep pursuing, and pursue success.
I do both... why couldn't it be both?
Quote:Or just accept happiness isn't something that you can really 'get'. You can get happy but you can't get happiness itself.
To some extent true... but then I know what makes me happy, and I can directly influence "receiving?" it. Ie: compliments make me happy... and I can easily fish for them
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
