The pursuit of HAPPINESS


A. L. Tennyson said: The happiness of man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions.
Lao-tzu said: seek not happiness too greedily and be not fearful of happiness
Helen Keller said: many people have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
Princess Diana who captivated the world as a well-born pretty bride to the Prince of Wales in a fairy-tale wedding, then underwent an emotional roller-coaster life and suffered a rocky marriage, all abruptly and instantly ended in violent tragedy.
Be aware: happiness is not about wealth or power or creature comforts or even ego. We all can achieve true happiness and purpose with positive attitude towards life and the world if we are at peace with God and with ourselves.
