Summary

This quote emphasizes the elusive nature of happiness. It suggests that when we actively pursue happiness or desperately seek it, it tends to evade us. However, if we focus on our own pursuits and lead a fulfilled life, happiness will naturally gravitate towards us. Similar to a cat, happiness is more likely to approach us when we pay it no heed and allow it to come to us on its own terms. The quote suggests that by not fixating on finding happiness, we increase our chances of discovering it unexpectedly in our daily lives.
