　　In defining happiness, first we should get rid of a harmful connotation, that happiness is synonymous with pleasure．It is most decidedly not．Pleasure is an end in itself; it is something that is hunted for．________; it is not obvious, but mysterious．

　　This distinction is recognized in the very meaning of the word,“happiness”．It comes from the Old English “hap”, which just means“something that happens”．Many of our words invoking circumstance come from this word;“happening”,“mishap”, and“perhaps”are examples．“Happiness”, too, comes from this word, and means, literally,“that which happens”．

　　Happiness is, moreover, a personal experience．It is confined to the person and the moment to which it belongs．What you find happy, your neighbor might not; what you and your neighbor find happy, the two of you may find happy for different reasons．If we had enough wisdom, enough knowledge, or simply enough love, we could be happy in everything．

　　Happiness, then, is what we let it be．We can be happy, like the hermit, even if we are miserable, alone, and in pain．To us, though, it appears tending to escape, and many chase it, thinking of it as pleasure or riches．Happiness is not lack of want; that is contentment．Happiness is not joy or pleasure．Happiness is not the absence of sadness or pain．If we were stumbling stupidly about in a dark room, happiness would be the shaft of light we let through the keyhole, not knowing enough to simply open the door．
