A MEDITATION

“ We will deserve to be considered happy if, living rightly, we act rightly.

A reflection

Happiness here isn't a feeling to chase — it's a byproduct of conduct. Do the right thing, in the right order, for long enough, and a quieter form of contentment settles in. Pursue it directly and it scampers away; pursue good action and it follows you home.
