Happiness - Just a great quote from Jean-Jacques Rousseau
"If
there is a state where the soul can find a resting-place secure enough
to establish itself and concentrate its entire being there, with no need
to remember the past or reach into the future, where time is nothing to
it, where the present runs on indefinitely but this duration goes
unnoticed, with no sign of the passing of time, and no other feeling of
deprivation or enjoyment, pleasure or pain,
desire or fear than the simple feeling of existence, a feeling that
fills our soul entirely, as long as this state lasts, we can call
ourselves happy, not with a poor, incomplete and relative happiness such
as we find in the pleasures of life, but with a sufficient, complete
and perfect happiness which leaves no emptiness to be filled in the
soul."
~Jean-Jacques Rousseau
