“The happiest person is the person who thinks the most interesting thoughts.”
Timothy Dwight
“I have never belonged wholeheartedly to a country, a state, nor to a circle of friends, nor even to my own family. When I was still a rather precocious young man, I already realized most vividly the futility of the hopes and aspirations that most men pursue throughout their lives. Well-being and happiness never appeared to me as an absolute aim.”
Albert Einstein
The point
Two reflections: happiness follows interesting thoughts, and lasting well-being is never found by chasing common ambitions.
