  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 societies, especially in English speaking societies, this is too apt to be forgotten. People proposed to themselves someone paramount 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 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.
