Happiness

Charles Schulz, the author of the comic strip "Peanuts", once wrote a book called "Happiness is a Warm Puppy". Was this just a cute title for a book, or was Schulz trying to tell us something?


Everybody loves puppies. They're cute, cuddly and always happy to see you. Puppies will cheer you up when you are in a bad mood and are always ready to play with you. Puppies don't care how cool you are, how you look, how you did in school or whether or not you won your game. Puppies love you no matter what. In return, all the puppy asks is that you love it back.

So, yes, happiness is a warm puppy, but Schulz was really writing about something bigger than that. He was telling us one of the keys to happiness:

To love and to be loved.
