If there were in the world today any large number of people who desired their own happiness more than they desired the unhappiness of others, we could have a paradise in a few years.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think a lot of the world searches in vain for happiness in ways that will not bring them happiness.
Happiness exists only if you have a lot of people to share it with.
I wish people could achieve what they think would bring them happiness in order for them to realize that that's not really what happiness is.
I don't think anyone, no matter what, can find perfect happiness until they understand exactly who they are and how every little thing they do can affect the world around them. I think perfect happiness would be a world where everyone is constantly striving to understand everyone else.
Happiness is within the reach of everyone, rich or poor. Yet comparatively few people are happy. I believe the reason for this is that the majority don't recognize happiness even when it is within their grasp.
Not enough people in this world are happy.
So long as we can lose any happiness, we possess some.
I would love for the world to be happier.
The world is full of people looking for spectacular happiness while they snub contentment.
Human beings will be happier - not when they cure cancer or get to Mars or eliminate racial prejudice or flush Lake Erie but when they find ways to inhabit primitive communities again. That's my utopia.
