"I read this someplace and it left an impression ....
'Happiness is found along the road, not at the end of the journey.'"

Here's what I told Conspiracy Guy...

"People don't become happy because they have great lives --
they have great lives because they're happy."

He agreed.

I would further say ... you don't find happiness, you will it into existence -- just as you will an open hand, instead of a clenched fist.

Happiness is found along the road, not at the end of the journey.

I differ with that slightly. I say, "You can only enjoy the journey if the destination is desirable". I always form an opinion of a person by how they respond.

Not being one who excels in debates, this is the way I read the happiness statement.

If you spend your life discontent, always wanting, life will pass you by. When you are old and gray, you will realize that you missed the joy of your family, your children, your grandchildren and your friends because you spent your life wanting more instead of living life to the fullest.

I do not disagree with any of your comments just the interpretation of the statement.
