The cult of happiness turns into a huge concern which to my opinion is exactly contrary to what happiness should be: a paradise of enchantment.

Frustration is a bad experience. What you have to stress is the satisfaction.

You're happy when you leave your concerns to the side and when you experience a pure moment of joy with friends.

You don't have to give people fish everyday but instead you must give them the pole to learn how to fish themselves.

You construct your happiness as you construct a house and you have to work on it. It is a daily job.

An overblown conscience is an empty conscience.

The writer has a life and a personality but the problem of today is that most of those writers have exactly the same life; they belong to the same social class, the same milieu, they have the same experiences. Once you read one of those books, you have read them all. And this is a problem.
