The greatest happiness

But I advise you: never becomes convinced the man is not to draw conclusions, do not argue and try to be as simple as possible. And remember that the greatest happiness on earth - is to think you anything you knew from the surrounding life. You would not understand, you will only feel that you understand; but when you think about it a few times, you'll see that misunderstood. And in a year or two, make sure that the second time was wrong. And so on without end. And yet it is the most important and most interesting in life.
