Well-being and happiness never appeared to me as an absolute aim. I am even inclined to compare such moral aims to the ambitions of a pig.
– Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
My thoughts: It is the manner in which one strives for happiness that determines one’s success to this end. I believe that the only lasting way to acquire and preserve this notion of happiness is by being of service to your fellowmen. In serving others one gains lasting happiness.
