About This Quote

HALE (Happiness and Love and Entertainment and Learning) is a common acronym on the Internet. It stands for: Happiness, Love, Entertainment, and Learning. This quote is an example of a common idea that is both true and false. The idea is that we all seek happiness and love and we also seek to have fun.

But, are people actually learning? The answer is yes. But, are they learning in the way this quote suggests? It's true that if you want to love someone or find peace in your life, you will have to entertain yourself with your favorite activities. But, if you are truly seeking happiness or love, then you have to put aside your entertainment to focus on yourself.
