True joy and happiness are valuable. If one does not survive, no joy and no happiness are obtainable.Trying to survive in a chaotic, dishonest and generally immoral society is difficult. Any individual or group seeks to obtain from life what pleasure and freedom from pain that they can. Your own survival can be threatened by the bad actions of the others around you.Your own happiness can be turned to tragedy and sorrow by the dishonestly and misconduct of others.

I am sure you can think of instances of this actually happening. Such wrongs reduce one's survival and impair one's happiness.You are important to other people. Your are listened to. You can influence others.The happiness or unhappiness of others you could name is important to you. Without too much trouble, you can help people survive and lead happier lives. While on one can guarantee that anyone else can be happy, their chances of survival and happiness can be improved. And with theirs, yours will be.

In conclusion, Happiness lies in engaging in worthwhile activities. But there is only one person who for certain can tell what will make one happy- oneself. There are only you who can say where the road goes for one sets his goals for the hour, for the relationship, for the phase of life. One can feel at times like a spinning leaf blown along a dirty street, one can feel like a grain of sand stuck i n one place. But nobody has said that life was a calm and orderly thing: it isn't. One isn't a tattered leaf nor a grain of sand: one can, to a grater or lesser degree draw his road map and follow it.

It can be traveled. So people can fall down: it doesn't mean they can't get up again and keep going. If one keeps the edges on the road, one can't go far wrong. True excitement, happiness and joy com from others things. not form broken lives. If you can get others to follow the road, you yourself will be free enough to give yourself a chance to discover what real happiness is.
