Happiness Refers To Feelings, Virtue Refers To

Impact Is Rewarding. Mattering Makes Us Happy.

The Secret Of Happiness Is Variety, But The Secret Of Variety, Like The Secret Of All Spices, Is Knowing When To Use It.

Your Mistake Was Not In Imagining Things You Could Not Know—that Is, After All, What Imagination Is For. Rather, Your Mistake Was In Unthinkingly Treating What You Imagined As Though It Were An Accurate Representation Of The Facts.

The Word Happiness Is Used To Indicate At Least Three Related Things, Which We Might Roughly Call Emotional Happiness, Moral Happiness, And Judgmental Happiness.

No One Likes To Be Criticized, Of Course, But If The Things We Successfully Strive For Do Not Make Our Future Selves Happy, Or If The Things We Unsuccessfully Avoid Do, Then It Seems Reasonable (if Somewhat Ungracious) For Them To Cast A Disparaging Glance Backward And Wonder What The Hell We Were Thinking.
