Pursue Mutual Affection, Not Happiness.

“One should never direct people towards happiness, 
because happiness too is an idol of the market-place. 
One should direct them towards mutual affection. 
A beast gnawing at its prey can be happy too, 
but only human beings can feel affection for each other, 
and this is the highest achievement they can aspire to.” 
- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.
