On the Pursuit of Happiness
The only increase resulting from the tireless pursuit of happiness is in the depth of want. But love is not so fleeting. Unlike happiness, no one person can attain love without direct human interaction, nor is it self-serving. Quality of life should not be measured by the degree of happiness attained, but by the fruit of love shared. For in itself, true love brings lasting joy, peace, and satisfaction. Happiness breeds misery by way of unquenchable desire. It is certain that love does come at a personal cost, but the price for happiness is a soul addicted.
