Happiness: The measure of Life
Beyond Work[1]
Happiness:
Enjoy it while you have it… for it is sure to slip away. This is my own opinion, and it is also
supported by a great deal of research;
Happiness is an exlperience, not an asset tht you can lock up in a
safe. Happiness comes, and we
enjoy it; it goes, and we can remember it. It is fortunate that happiness comes , and we enjoy it; it
goes, and we can remember it. It
is fortunate that happiness does come and go. For one thing, constant happiness ruins a good thing. You may have heard the tale that new workers in a candy
factory are urged to eat as much as they want because the managers have learned
that people quickly tire of too much candy……
Who enjoys
a bottle of wine more? The person
who lives wine and haves a great wine every evening or the person who loves
wine and has it once or twice a week?
Over time the, the every-evening great wine becomes expected and
routine. While still delicious, it
is no longer special. The
every-so-often great wine remains a treat to be savored and brings a
smile. Eventually the every-night
great wine loses it’s impact.
