If only we'd stop trying to be happy

"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and then he had to stop and think.  Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called.  ~A.A. Milne

I know we’re depressed and neurotic, but unhappiest in the world?  Methinks that the index is upside down…

If only we'd stop trying to be happy we could have a pretty good time. 

Edith Wharton
