Those who seek happiness miss it, and those who discuss it,

Summary

This quote implies that happiness is not something that can be actively pursued or found by constantly seeking it. Instead, by spending too much time and energy trying to find happiness, we may inadvertently miss out on truly experiencing it. Additionally, engaging in endless discussions about happiness may distract us from actually embracing and living a happy life. True happiness comes from within and is best found by simply being present and content with the present moment.

And then, on through all eternity.
