The Nature of Happiness
Since my last post, I have given some thought to happiness and can truthfully say I have never deliberately chosen to do anything I knew would make me unhappy.
But, I have done things that have made me unhappy, almost always in violation of the following quote from Benjamin Franklin.
“There is no happiness then but in a virtous and self-approving conduct.”
This suggests to me an important line of thought to keep in mind when teaching children. Hopefully, they will learn to be smarter than I have sometimes been.
