“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
QUOTE OF THE DAY
“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The simple irony? If you make yourself useful and manifest compassion you will then indeed be happy. Generally speaking. Maybe not happy like a drunk that just won $1200 at a slot machine, but happy nonetheless.
