On Living the Good Life and Happiness

   What brings happiness?  Alan Chalmers offered that the essentials of happiness consist of, "something to do, something to love, and something to hope for." Anne Frank believed that we were most likely to find it in nature.  While Roosevelt suggested that happiness required creativity, Sophocles asserted that the essential ingredient was wisdom, and George Sand was quite certain that happiness could not exist without love.  And then there was George Burns who observed that happiness was "having a large, loving, caring close-knit family in another city."
