The Pursuit of Unhappiness
After meeting the basic needs of food, clothing and shelter is being sought to make men different courses in life they do bring happiness. Day and night for a few moments of happiness and pain, transient and satisfaction, it will be ready to go to them for life routine, which may not give them any joy. This is the pursuit of happiness.

For perhaps the majority of life forms, almost every place on earth is “the wrong situation”. Not so, it seems, for Homo sapiens, a species so adaptable that its members can flourish just about anywhere, probably including space. This is not because they‘re hard to kill, like cockroaches and rats, but because they are clever. Though rather needy in purely physical terms, these tropical primates have a remarkable talent for production whatever environment they find themselves in to suit their
