One of the things that I have realized after thinking for a long time about how a person can achieve happiness, is that a good way to get there is finding multiple sources of happiness. When you find something or someone that make you happy, you could considered lucky, but it is wise to have a plan B.
I apply this logic to my life and it have been working very well, one of my sources of happiness is reading, and reading is an excellent source of happiness, because there are more good books in the world than I can read, therefore reading is an inexhaustible source of happiness. The same could said about music and art in general. Therefore, I think is a good idea to look for unlimited sources of happiness they are the most reliable. One can argue that all happiness is provisory, and that the search for happiness is a waste of time, but that pessimist argument adds nothing to the discussion about happiness, the goal is not to question the nature of the most pleasant thing that someone can fell (happiness), but just to find it.
