Happiness is ideal, it is the work of the imagination.

Summary

This quote suggests that happiness is not a tangible entity, but rather an ideal or concept created by our imagination. It implies that true happiness is not something that can be obtained or achieved in the physical world, but rather something we create in our minds by envisioning what it means to be truly happy. It highlights the subjective and personal nature of happiness, emphasizing that it is a product of our imagination and perception rather than something concrete or universally defined.
