Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product.
~Eleanor Roosevelt
Thought of the Day

………………..
If you do something worthwhile there is a possibility that you become happy as a result. Happiness is something that you get from doing something really lovely to people; their happiness or good fortune makes you happy.
It can also be the result of achieving what you have wanted whether it is good or bad in a schadenfreude kinda way. Oh yes everyone is capable of feeling a fleeting happiness or joy in the misfortune of others, otherwise Charlie Chaplin would not have been such a successful actor with all his slapsticks skits. And Mr Bean, and like him, would have not tickled our funny bones (but to tell you the truth, I don’t really like Mr Bean, I find his television and film comedies too excruciating for comfort).
Whoops got a bit sidetrack there. Anyway happiness is not always the end result of something. Happiness can be found in the simplest of things. Happiness may come to you when you least expect it.
