Happiness

"Those among us who are wiser have become aware there is nothing left to live for. These men are unhappy which they attribute to the nature of the universe and consider to be the only rational attitude for an enlightened man. Whatever the arguments may be reason lays no embargo upon happiness. I am persuaded that those who quite sincerely attribute there sorrows to their views about the universe are unhappy for some other reason which they are unaware and this unhappiness leads them to dwell upon the less agreeable characteristics of the world
in which they live. Would we rather die like men than live like animals"?

Bertrand Russell
