My Country's Declaration of Independence should have read: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of _Meaning_"

Meaning sure does carry more weight than Happiness. I think happiness already exists within, certainly not to be pursued but only activated.

Happiness is like...stubbing your toe. Meaning is having a toe to stub.

So happiness is also temporary pain. πŸ˜‚

It's accute and transient and often preceded and followed by pain.

πŸ˜„ That much is true.
