Happiness is beneficial for the body, but it is grief that develops the powers of the mind.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Humans have a sense of spontaneity and emotion. We have a dichotomy between grief and happiness.
More compassionate mind, more sense of concern for other's well-being, is source of happiness.
Happiness is mostly a by-product of doing what makes us feel fulfilled.
Happiness is good health and a bad memory.
Grief causes suffering and disease.
Grief can take care if itself, but to get the full value of a joy you must have somebody to divide it with.
Happiness consumes itself like a flame. It cannot burn for ever, it must go out, and the presentiment of its end destroys it at its very peak.
Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.
Happiness serves hardly any other purpose than to make unhappiness possible.
Anguish over the loss of a loved one or feelings of helplessness have complex roots. But in the end, they make you feel bad because they adjust your brain's chemistry. Happiness and its opposite are both electro-chemical reactions; those reactions are temporary and ineffable and could even have hidden benefits.
