About This Quote
Life is more or less a lie, but then again, that’s exactly the way we want it to be. Life is something that we all want to live in. It would be nice to live in a world that was happy and always had everything we wanted. Sadly, that is not the case.
Things are never easy and life will not always go our way. However, you can find ways to make your life happier and more fulfilling. William James made this statement during his lectures concerning the nature of happiness.
He said that, "we never have enough of what we want." That is true for things as well as people. If you have a desire for something but do not have it, you still have a desire for it which takes you a step closer to getting what you want. For those who want happiness, they need only to remember those things they have or those things they want and they will experience pleasure from those memories or those wishes
