Summary

This quote suggests that true happiness is not obtained by actively seeking it, but rather it is usually a result of engaging in other meaningful activities and pursuits. It implies that leading a purposeful life, finding enjoyment in various experiences, and fostering meaningful relationships are more likely to bring about genuine happiness. By focusing on the journey and engaging in activities that bring fulfillment and joy, happiness becomes an incidental outcome rather than the sole objective.

My faith is the grand drama of my life. I'm a believer, so I sing words of God to those who have no faith. I give bird songs to those who dwell in cities and have never heard them, make rhythms for those who know only military marches or jazz, and paint colors for those who see none.
