Happiness was never important. The problem is that we don't know what we really want. What makes us happy is not to get what we want. But to dream about it. Happiness is for opportunists. So I think that the only life of deep satisfaction is a life of eternal struggle, especially struggle with oneself. If you want to remain happy, just remain stupid. Authentic masters are never happy; happiness is a category of slaves.Anonymous
About This Quote
Happiness isn’t everything, but it is important. We all want to be happy, but we don’t know what happiness is. What makes us happy is not an object but our ability to avoid suffering. Authentic masters are never happy; happiness is a category of slaves.
Happiness is an emotion that can be lost or gained, and often there are many other things that come before it. Happiness won’t last forever for anyone; it can’t be forced on anyone, and it certainly won’t make others happy. The true master understands the true nature of happiness, which is the ability to endure suffering for the sake of something greater than ourselves.
When you feel sad or depressed, remember that it will pass and you will get happier again.
