en　whom　you　can　call　happy；　you　will　see　that　they　all　have　certain　things　in　mon。　The　most　important　of　these　things　is　an　activity　which　at　most　gradually　builds　up　something　that　you　are　glad　to　see　ing　into　existence。　Women　who　take　an　instinctive　pleasure　in　their　children　can　get　this　kind　of　satisfaction　out　of　bringing　up　a　family。　Artists　and　authors　and　men　of　science　get　happiness　in　this　way　if　their　own　work　seems　good　to　them。　But　there　are　many　humbler　forms　of　the　same　kind　of　pleasure。　Many　men　who　spend　their　working　life　in　the　city　devote　their　weekends　to　voluntary　and　unremunerated　toil　in　their　gardens；　and　when　the　spring　es；　they　experience　all　the　joys　of　having　created　beauty。　。。

幸福之路（3）

The　whole　subject　of　happiness　has；　in　my　opinion；　been　treated　too　solemnly。　It　had　been　thought　that　man　cannot　be　happy　without　a　theory　of　life　or　a　religion。　Perhaps　those　who　have　been　rendered　unhappy　by　a　bad　theory　may　need　a　better　theory　to　help　them　to　recovery；　just　as　you　may　need　a　tonic　when　you　have　been　ill。　But　when　things　are　normal　a　man　should　be　healthy　without　a　tonic　and　happy　without　a　theory。　It　is　the　simple　things　that　really　matter。　If　a　man　delights　in　his　wife　and　children；　has　success　in　work；　and　finds　pleasure　in　the　alternation　of　day　and　night；　spring　and　autumn；　he　will　be　happy　whatever　his　philosophy　may　be。　If；　on　the　other　hand；　he　finds　his　wife　fateful；　his　children’s　noise　unendurable；　and　the　office　a　night
