We have no more right to consume happiness without producing

Summary

This quote expresses the idea that just as we cannot expect to possess wealth without exerting effort to produce it, we also cannot expect to experience happiness without actively working towards it. It emphasizes the importance of actively contributing to the creation of happiness rather than simply being passive consumers of it. Just as we must generate wealth through productivity and labor, genuine happiness is a result of actively cultivating positive relationships, pursuing passions, and finding fulfillment in meaningful activities.
