Question of Happiness

The wise I asked: “Why is it so difficult for Man happiness to find?” - “It is because, happiness is elusive to the heart, the language of harmony ignores!” replied he, with a bitter smile! © Demetriod Trifiatis 29 December 2015

He didn't have happiness because there is no harmony. Enjoyed reading my friend.

Happiness does need harmony to be felt. Wishing you every blessing in the New Year.

My dearest Eileen, "harmony" is a Greek word which comes from the Greek verb" Ararisko" which in turn means the equilibrium, the agreement, of opposites forces for achieving the desired outcome for both. We should not confuse satisfaction, or pleasure. Without harmony nothing is possible, not life, not even health for health is the result of harmonious collaboration and coexistence of the organism's parts. Happiness is the achievement of such an equilibrium among the numerous feelings of Man! May you be for ever happy!

Good for you my friend, Richard. Unfortunately happiness is not a permanent state but to be felt it requires harmony in our soul. God bless you and your family. Happy New Year!
