Matshona DhliwayoTo be happy: the simple pursue pleasure, the common pursue riches, the uncommon pursue knowledge, and the exceptional pursue wisdom.
About This Quote
The pursuit of pleasure, riches, knowledge, or wisdom will leave you just as unhappy as the pursuit of pleasure, riches, knowledge, or wisdom. It is only when the simple pursue pleasure that you can be happy. Pleasure is a short-term solution to a long-term problem. It is a distraction from the real issues of life and an easy way to avoid pain.
The common pursue wealth and the uncommon pursue knowledge are also not the way to find true happiness. The only way to find true happiness is by pursuing wisdom. You can’t get anything from wealth or knowledge without wisdom to guide your way.
When you let go of all desires for pleasure, riches, and knowledge and focus on pursuing wisdom, you will find true happiness.
