So why is there so little happiness? I mean, isn’t that your impression? Think about it this way. If you are anxious about something, you aren’t happy. If you are afraid of something, you aren’t happy. If you are angry, you aren’t happy. If you are lonely, you aren’t happy. If you are jealous or envious or resentful, you aren’t happy. So what characterizes our society today: is it happiness or is it anxiety, fear, anger, loneliness, jealousy, envy, and resentfulness? We are all, supposedly, pursuing happiness, but we must really stink at it. Either we’re not trying very hard, or else we’re not pursuing it in the right places.
