"Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know."
-Ernest Hemingway
These days, happiness is getting more and more difficult to achieve. Everyone thinks the more money and all of the latest 'things' will make them happy. Think about it. Why do we want things? What feeling are we trying to achieve by temporarily satisfying ourselves? Happiness. We are all striving for happiness. Some people find happiness in a new pair of shoes or a new car. Still others try to find happiness in their fortune and wealth. The strangest of all is those who put others down to bring happiness to themselves. Intelligence is a way people try to become happy, but once they have it, they realize they still want more. Happiness in intelligent or wealthy people is the rarest thing I know. In my years I have found out how to truly find happiness. Spend time with the people you love. Have fun with your friends. Serve others. Smile. There really is no other way to truly achieve happiness.
