Mind Responsibility

Why is it our duty to work towards personal happiness? Generally, when you feel better you act better. It's easier to be considerate of others. The world needs people to stive to feel better because there's a saying "A rising tide lifts all boats." Everyone who feels good doesn't always do good. On the otherhand, when those of us with kind and generous hearts feel better then we have more to give. Every day, each of us has the choice to see the glass as half empty or half full. When we see it as half full, this means that we're able to focus on things that matter and let go of the little stuff. Isn't this is where happiness lies - in the things that matter? Happpiness depends upon ourselves. ~Aristotle
