Choosing simplicity in life often leads to genuine happiness, as it reduces unnecessary stress and material cravings. When we set high expectations, we might unknowingly create conditions for disappointment, because reality rarely aligns perfectly with our desires. Embracing contentment and lowering expectations allow us to be more adaptable and appreciative of what we have. This perspective encourages mindfulness and gratitude, fostering a more peaceful and fulfilling existence.

Pretending,' she looked at the garden, 'is not the truth.''But you said two true things, right ? One, you hate this girl. Two, you want her to feel better. If you decide that the wanting truth's more important than the hating truth, just tell her you've forgiven her, even if you haven't. At least she'd feel better. Maybe that'd make you feel better too. — David Mitchell

You go first.Go through the door before me.Enter the limousine while I wait by your side.Enter the shops while I stand behind, guarding your back.Sit at the table before me.Please, sample the tastiest morsels while I sit quietly. My desire is that you go first, in every occasion of earthly life.Only once will I go before you,And that will be at my last moment — Jean Sasson

Protestations of happiness could sound almost boasting to those whose happiness is incomplete. One did not boast of perfect skin to one affected by dermatitis; for the same reason, perhaps, one should take care in proclaiming one's happiness. — Alexander McCall Smith The Right...

They are a bit small for me, Mma, she confessed. I think you were right. But I felt great happiness when I wore them, and I shall always remember that. They are such beautiful shoes. Mma Ramotswe laughed. Well, that's the important thing, isn't it, Mma? To feel happiness, and then to remember it. I think that you're right, said Mma Makutsi. Happiness was an elusive thing. It had something to do with having beautiful shoes, sometimes; but it was about so much else. About a country. About a people. About having friends like this. — Alexander McCall Smith Blue Shoes and...

The thought of all that happiness was hard to bear. What's the point of happiness when all it does is throw the facts of dying into clear relief? — Sebastian Faulks Engleby

I spit on your happiness! I spit on your idea of life--that life that must go on, come what may. You are all like dogs that lick everything they smell. You with your promise of a humdrum happiness--provided a person doesn't ask much of life. I want everything of life, I do; and I want it now! I want it total, complete: otherwise I reject it! I will not be moderate. I will not be satisfied with the bit of cake you offer me if I promise to be a good little girl. I want to be sure of everything this very day; sure that everything will be as beautiful as when I was a little girl. If not, I want to die! — Jean Anouilh Antigone
