Not for the first time I find our lives are a shadow, and I am not afraid to say that people who think they have everything figured out and are masters of logic - they are responsible for the greatest folly. No human being is happy. Strike it rich and you are luckier than your neighbor - but happy, never. Euripides
About This Quote

This quote is very true. We are all miserable. No matter what we have, there is always something better. But, what makes us happy is not what makes us rich.

What makes us happy is the people around us. We are all miserable because of the people around us. When you have people who care about you, you are happier than if you have nothing at all.

If the people who are close to you are not happy, then there is no hope for happiness in your life. If everyone around you is unhappy, then you are just as unhappy as they are.
