"To be happy in this world, especially when youth is past, it is necessary to feel oneself not merely an isolated individual whose day will soon be over, but part of the stream of life flowing on from the first germ to the remote and unknown future."

— Bertrand Russell, The Conquest of Happiness

Happy connections

Some people become so focused on their immediate income and reputation that they fail to cherish their connections with others. These individuals may be able to live in nicer homes and wear nicer clothes than others, but whether they can truly achieve happiness is a separate matter.

Our daily interactions with others have a far greater impact on our happiness and well-being than the clothes we wear or the homes we live in.

“happiness is the longing for repetition.”

But that's why we CAN be happy, I say.

"And therein lies the whole of man's plight. Human time does not turn in a circle; it runs ahead in a straight line. That is why man cannot be happy: happiness is the longing for repetition."
​― Milan Kundera/𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑈𝑛𝑏𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝐿𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝐵𝑒𝑖𝑛𝑔
