Happiness 幸福感

Happiness is being content with what one has, not idly wishing for more but wishing without bothering to entertain the possibility of having more yet always ready to welcome any such possibility.
幸福感とは，今有るもので満足し、それ以上を望むも、無闇に望むのでなく、そう云う可能性を期待することなくしかし努めて現れ次第受け入れる心がけで、望む事でしょうか。06.01.04

The past was good enough but the present is so much better. I don't know what the future holds but what comes will come, good or bad. I am content to be happy in the present. There are people who think the present is bad enough and it could only get worse in the future. I pity them.
以前は以前で結構良かったけれど、今の今は勝って良い。この先はどうなるか解らないが、善くも悪しくも来るものは来る。今の状態がこう悪ければ，この先更に悪くなるばかりと信じている人びとがいますけど，哀れな連中ですね。06.15.04
