I think, more rather, that life is made up of periods of happiness and periods of sorrow, mixed in, of course, with tons of other emotions–some lighter, some steeped in dripping juice. So it is neither pointless nor unreasonable to seek happiness. But I always say that happiness is more often achieved from the inside out rather than from outside phenomenon. It’s true that outside things can make us feel elated, but in the end, towards the end of our lives, we must search for truth and happiness within ourselves.

Sure, we should pursue happiness, but we should remain wary that sorrow is in the path of every single human being.
