There are two kinds of happiness for human beings, one is to open the heart to all people, and the other is to have a special love for people who can read and write.

When I was a child, I knew a well digger who was filled with happiness. He was extremely tall and muscular, but could neither read nor write. When he received a parliamentary vote in 1885, he knew for the first time in his life that such an institution existed, and his happiness did not come from knowledge, nor on the laws of nature, on the perfection of species, on the common rights of public utilities, but only on the vitality of the body, on sufficient labor, and on the conquest of such insurmountable obstacles as stones.

My gardener's happiness is of the same type as his, he fights hares all year round, and when he speaks of these little animals, he thinks that they are devious, scheming, vicious and cruel, and that only the same shrewd opponents can compete with them. Although my gardener is in his 70s, he never stops, and in order to work, he has to ride 16 miles a day, but the fountain of joy is inexhaustible, and the source comes from "those rabbit cubs".

In terms of emotional content, the happiness of those who are the most educated is no different from the pleasure experienced by my gardener; the difference caused by education is only a difference in the form of pleasure. The joy of success requires difficulties to follow, and even if in the end this difficulty is overcome, it must be made so that success is uncertain at the beginning. This may be why not overestimating one's abilities is one of the sources of happiness. People who have a low self-evaluation are constantly amazed at their successes, while those who are overrated are often amazed at their failures. The former is pleasing and the latter frustrating. It is therefore wise not to be unprovokedly conceited nor to be inferior.

Friendly care for people is a form of emotion, but not greedy, predatory and unrequited. The latter is most likely a source of misfortune. The form that can bring happiness is the love of observing people and finding pleasure in their unique personality, rather than hoping to gain the power to control them or make them worship themselves to the extreme.

If a person treats others with this attitude, then he finds the source of happiness and becomes the object of affection of others; his relationship with others, whether close or distant, brings satisfaction to his interests and feelings; he is not depressed by the ingratitude of others, because he does not expect anything in return, and he will rarely receive such rewards.

The characteristics of being angry and thunderous in the heart of another man, in his case, became a source of pleasure, and he dealt with these characteristics calmly. The achievements that others have worked hard to achieve, in him, are the work of raising their hands, effortlessly. He is happy, so he will be a pleasant partner, and this in turn adds a lot of happiness to himself. But all this must come from the heart, from sincerity, and it must not produce the idea of self-sacrifice that comes from a sense of responsibility. At work, it's bad; people just want to like each other, not to be patient and obedient. Naturally, without much effort, like a lot of people, may be the greatest source of personal happiness.

I also talked about the so-called friendly care for things. This statement may sound a little reluctant; perhaps it should be said that a sense of friendliness to things is impossible. Nevertheless, there is something similar to friendliness in the geologists' interest in stones and archaeologists in the site, and this interest should also be a factor in our attitude towards the individual and society, and it is impossible for people to be interested in hostile and not friendly things.

A person who hates spiders, in order to live in a place they rarely visit, may collect information about the habits of spiders. But this interest will never produce the same pleasure that geologists derive from stones, and although the interest shown in inanimate things is less valuable than the friendliness toward one's own fellow citizens in the element of everyday happiness, it is still important.

The world is vast, but our own power is limited, if we limit all happiness to ourselves, then it is very difficult not to ask for more from life, and the result of greed will definitely make you lose even the share you deserve.

If a person can forget his troubles with some real interest, such as the Trento Conference or the history of the stars, then when he wanders back to an uninvolved world, he will find himself able to find balance and tranquility, so that he can deal with his troubles in the best way and at the same time get real, even short-lived happiness. The secret of happiness is to make you as kind as possible to the people and things you are interested in, not hostile to.
