They all want to be happy. They all think they should be happy. And theyre quick to trot out their most cherished document and point to where they were promised life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But youll find that though they all parrot that little phrase, they think none too hard about that word pursuit. To follow, to chase, to inquire, to hunt, to seek. To track in order to overtake and capture. This they dont do. Instead, having been offered a promise of happiness, they progress to a feeling of entitlement for happiness, then make the leap that happiness should, therefore, be easily won, automatic. Theres too much wrong in there to even scratch at that!
