What is true happiness? With all the choices in life and the many necessary sacrifices we have to make to effect change, how does one become happy?

"We must rapidly begin the shift from a "thing-oriented" society to a "person-oriented" society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered." Martin Luther King Jr.

Freedom, positive, negative and material/means.

That's the way of it.

At worst "true happiness" is an illusion. At best, it is a by-product of living our lives in accordance with our values, developing our talents, and seeking fulfillment and accomplishment.

True happiness almost suggests an unobtainable permanency. There is no such thing. Happiness like anything else, good or bad, is fleeting. It arrives, it leaves, and it returns again only to leave once more. Enjoy it when it visits.
