Music should probably provide answers in terms of lyrical content, and giving people a sense of togetherness and oneness, as opposed to being alone in their thoughts and dilemmas or regrets or happiness or whatever. Peabo Bryson
Grief and sadness knits two hearts in closer bonds than happiness ever can; and common sufferings are far stronger than common joys. Alphonse de Lamartine
My travels led me to where I am today. Sometimes these steps have felt painful, difficult, but led me to greater happiness and opportunites. Diana Ross
According to some philosophies, purpose is central to a good human life. Helen Keller wrote that happiness comes from "fidelity to a worthy purpose", some people hold that God assigns purposes to people and that it is their mission to fulfill them.
The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.
Marcus Aurelius
