one feels inclined to say

that the intention that

man should be

happy

is not included in

the plan of

creation

what we call happiness

in the strictest sense

comes from the

preferably sudden

satisfaction of needs

which have been dammed up

to a high degree

and it is from its nature

only possible as an

episodic phenomenon

when any situation

that is desired by the

pleasure principle is prolonged

it only produces a feeling

of mild contentment

we are so made that we can

derive intense enjoyment only

from a contrast

and very little

from a state of things

thus our possibilities of

happiness are

already restricted

by our constitution

unhappiness is much less

difficult to experience

the purpose of life

is a life of purpose

It is that we are never
so defenceless against
suffering as when we love,
never so helplessly unhappy
as when we have lost our
loved object or its love.
But this does
not dispose of
the technique of
living based on
the value of love
as a means to
happiness.

Beauty has no obvious use;

nor is there any clear cultural necessity for it.

Yet civilization could not do without it.
