Happiness
"Do you know what happiness is? It's casting beautifully into the sun and watchng your line unfold. It's a small thing. I always thought happiness eluded me. I had an image of happiness which was like throwing beach balls and laughing and throwing your children in the air like a rail way poster. When I found CONTENTMENT and replaced the word 'happiness' with 'contentment', I realised I was happy all along." - Billy Connelly
