Quote by John Grierson
Some of us learned in a school of philosophy which taught that all was for the common good and nothing for oneself and have never, in any case, regarded the pursuit of happiness as anything other than an aberration of the human spirit.
Summary
This quote suggests that some individuals were educated in a philosophy that emphasized selflessness and the idea that everything should be done for the benefit of the collective, rather than for personal gain. These individuals view the pursuit of happiness as a deviation from the true nature of humanity and believe that it goes against their philosophical teachings. In other words, seeking personal happiness is seen as an abnormality or deviation from their understanding of the human spirit.
