On Happiness
~ by CharlotteHappiness is the capacity to feel deeply, enjoy fully, think freely, love truly and be needed. – Unknown
The very first time I’ve heard this quote is from my high school Math teacher. Actually, I’ve not heard or read these lines ever repeated by anyone else. She’s not a very well-liked teacher by the students. But then, I don’t think there is ever a Math teacher who is liked at all. But she’s actually nice and I’ll always remember her for this quote on happiness.
I’ve repeated these lines a few times to myself most especially, when I’m feeling insecure and depressed. I tell myself that – my capacity to feel deeply depressed is reason enough to be happy. Make sense to me. I hope it makes sense to you.
