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

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.

Today, luxury resides in everything that is becoming rare: communion with nature, silence, meditation, slowness rediscovered, the pleasure of living out of step with others, studious idleness, the enjoyment of the major works of the mind–these are all privileges that cannot be bought because they are literally priceless.

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

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

We should distinguish between responsibility and guilt. Guilt only touches the ones who committed the crimes but the son of a criminal is not a criminal himself.
