“Happiness consists in activity. It is running steam, not a stagnant pool.”

Existence is a strange bargain. Life owes us little we owe it everything. The only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose.
You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
What ever our wandering our happiness will always be found within a narrow compass, and in the middle of the objects more immediately within our reach.
What we call happiness in the strictest sense comes from the (preferably sudden) satisfaction of needs which have been dammed up to a high degree.
