Above all, and this seems quite apparent to me, it is impossible to be happy if one does not have the desire to be happy; one must therefore, will one’s happiness, and create it.
What has not been sufficiently stressed is that we have an obligation toward others to be happy. It is often said that only the happy are loved; but it is forgotten that this recompense is just and deserved; for unhappiness, boredom, and despair are in the air we all breath; and so we owe thanks and a laurel wreath to those who dissipate the miasmas and, in a sense, purify life around us with their energetic example.
There is indeed nothing more profound in love than the vow to be happy.
What can be more difficult to overcome than the boredom, sadness, or unhappiness of those we love?
Every man and every woman should keep in mind the fact that happiness -I mean the happiness one conquers for oneself- is the most beautiful and the most generous gift one can give.
