Happiness

There is a radio show I enjoy listening to from time to time, when I'm in the car. On this particular show they talk about happiness on Fridays, what it is and what it isn't. Of course, many times people who call in manage to confuse "pleasure" with happiness and make other shallow mistakes. The host of the talk show is quite pleased to point out these simple errors. I like what Dostoyevsky said about it. "Man is fond of counting his troubles, but he does not count his joys. If he counted them up as he ought to, he would see that every lot has enough happiness provided for it."

Of course in today's economy, the best way for a person to have happy thoughts is to count his blessings and not his cash!
