Isn’t human nature fascinating? You are in the throes of despair – a lost love, a failed interview, a dearth of money, a surfeit of angst, etc. Then something occurs: you receive a wonderful email, someone smiles solicitously, the wind and the rain bless you, you wake up refreshed — whatever it is — and suddenly, once again, you are thrust into the bosom of happiness. This suggests that one of human existence’s greatest pillars –happiness – is real and intrinsic to us all.
