About This Quote
When he says, “My happiness has to come from within myself or it is too fragile a thing to be of any use to me and too much of a burden to benefit any of my loved ones,” the young man is telling us that true happiness is not something that can be taken by others. It can be enjoyed by oneself alone. If it comes from the outside, that same happiness will be fragile and easily broken.
