Happiness
The Sage Said #1
How can I find happiness?
I asked the wise old man.
He was sitting on a straw
mat under a large tree. He
responded in a low strange
voice,
'You cannot pursue happiness
and catch it; it comes upon you
unawares, while you are helping others."
I wanted to ask him another question
but he began to chant.
