Happiness is never more than partial. There are no pure state of mankind, whatever else happiness may be, it is neither in having nor in being, but in becoming. What the Founding Fathers declared for us as an inherent right, we should do well to remember, was not happiness but pursuit happiness.
What they might have underlined could they have foreseen the happiness-market, is the cardinal fact that happiness is in the pursuit itself, in the meaningful pursuit of what is life-engaging and life-revealing, which is to say, in the idea of becoming. A nation is not measured by what it possesses or wants to possesses, but by what it wants to become.
永远,没有完全的幸福。永远没有纯粹的人类状态,无论幸福可能是什么,它既不是拥有什么,也不是什么,而是将成为什么。我们应该牢记,开国之父所宣告的:我们与身俱来的权利,并不是幸福,而是对幸福的追求。如果他们能预见到今日有钱购买的场面,他们可能会强调这么一个极为重要的事实:幸福在于追求本身,在于有意义地追求与生活密切相关,或者揭示生活真谛的东西,也就是成为什么。衡量一个民族的标准不是其已拥有的或想拥有什么而是它要成为什么。
