How true that laughter is embarrassing. I am often scolded for being loud. You capture Man's nature of being in pursuit of happiness. Do you agree that happiness is the attainment of a worthy life? Worthy is also something we strive for and seldom catch. Thanks again for your thoughtful writing.
A warm place in my heart for Charles Dickens. Haven't read A Christmas Carol though. Not with so many good movies based on it! I'll have to remedy that. G.K. might need a little help with his definition of happiness. Try this one from LRH: "Happiness, then, could be defined as the overcoming of obstacles toward a desirable goal or the momentary contemplation of a goal accomplished. Any desirable goal, if closely inspected, will be found to be a survival goal."
