Reflections: Happiness Considered

The history of art and literature, as well as the study of history itself, shows us that interpersonal relationships rarely generate happiness in perpetuity. When and where they do, it is because those lives have been conjoined in an agreed-upon simplicity, based upon a recognition of the sufficiency of what simply is, here and now, and a satisfied contentment with that.

A single piece of bread given to a hungry man is enough to save a soul – if it is given in the right way. ~ Simone Weil

The Good does not manifest under the aspect of excess.

The concept of abundance as a Good, therefore, can countenance abundance only as an opportunity for sharing: an equitable distribution of sufficiency.
