this author’s view of happiness? Explain your rating scale.
“For most of life, nothing
wonderful happens. If you don’t enjoy
getting up and working and finishing your work and sitting down to a meal with
family or friends, then the chances are you’re not going to be very happy. If someone bases his happiness or unhappiness
on major events like a great new job, huge amounts of money, a flawlessly happy
marriage or a trip to Paris, that person isn’t going to be happy much of the
time. If on the other hand, happiness
depends on a good breakfast, flowers in the yard, or a nap, then we are more
likely to live with quite a bit of happiness."
