Default Re: What will make you happy?

The notion that marrying the perfect girl is going to make you happy is silly. While is is true that married people are generally happier than non-married people on average, this doesn't mean that a relationship will make an unhappy person happy. It will just make him slightly less unhappy in the long run and happy in the short term, until the novelty wears off.

There is no one event or thing that will turn you happy. Put out of your mind the idea that once you have accomplished some thing, you will then be happy. It doesn't work that way. If you can't be happy no as a young man, something is wrong.
