"A clear horizon, nothing to worry about on your plate. Only things that are creative and not destructive.
And that's within yourself. Within me I can't bear quarreling, I can't bear feelings between people. I think hatred is wasted energy. And it's all nonproductive.
I'm very sensitive. A sharp word said by say a person who has a temper if they're close to me hurts me for days. I know we're only human, we do go in for these various emotions, call them negative emotions...but when all these are removed and you can look forward and the road is clear ahead and now you're going to create something.
I think that's as happy as I would ever want to be."
now thats a clear definition of happiness from the master of suspense...
In the 80s, there was this fad that dealt with coming up with a definition of happiness. Remember "Happiness is ...." then you supply the rest of the statement. In my case, my favorite was "Happiness is four green (traffic) lights in a row," and "Happiness is a quiet corner and with an Eric Van Lustbader book."
ReplyDeletehey, I remember him..I think I read his "The Ninja" novel back in the 80s!
ReplyDeletethats a good exercise..maybe we should define what happiness is to us once in a while, parang pep talk when things don't go our way...
