Quote by Robert G. Ingersoll

Happiness is not a reward -- it is a consequence. Suffering is not a punishment -- it is a result.

Happiness is not a reward -- it is a consequence. Suffering

Summary

This quote emphasizes the idea that happiness and suffering are not arbitrary experiences imposed upon us by external forces or as a product of our actions. Instead, it suggests that happiness stems naturally from the choices we make and our mindset, while suffering arises as a consequence of the same factors. It suggests that the state of our happiness or suffering is within our control and directly linked to our actions, thoughts, and attitudes.
