The gods, so says the old superstition, do not like to behold too happy mortals. It is certain, at least, that some human beings do not.

About This Quote

If you are happy, you are not being humble and grateful for what you have. If you are happy, you probably think that you don’t deserve happiness. You find joy in things that most people would find boring and unimportant. If you are happy, the gods will not like it.

This is because happiness has a bad reputation and can bring chaos to the world. It may cause problems in society, such as corruption or war. The gods don’t like things that make them feel threatened or worried.
