THE MOST MISERABLE person in the world is H,. one who is
never able to escape from himself.
Let others argue whether one is one's own Inst friend •.••te's
greatest bore.
The trouble with the egotist is that he is forever thinking v: himself.
It is this which makes him not only intolerable to other*-- Put intern
ally wretched.
Sensitiveness is another disease caused by living too nu:» ■ with
oneself.
People that are always- being hurt, always having their toes stepped
on, finding umbrage, in every casual remark, are people who are 1 tying >n a
cell, where their only companion is self.
The secret of happiness is escape.
The pleasure we get from the beauty of nature is that by means
of it we can go out fromourselves, and mingle with the larger universe.
Who has not known the joy of this escape? Sometimes when our
inner thoughts are black, when the puzzles of life drive us to despair,
when ffie devils of morbidity flood us. if we can grasp the’glory of 'n golden
sunset, the majesty of mountains, the wide peace of valleys, the mothering
calm of a summer day. the joyanee of young spring or the hrisk challenge
of snow-covered fields in winter, we can get away from our hated -elves
and taste the delicious medicine of nature.
The blue bird of happiness is outside.
‘ Look out. not in." was the terse maxim of Edward Everett Hale.
It is also well to look up. not down.
After all. the ministry of culture and of education is to provide the
soul with avenues of escape.
When we listen to a concert and know enough t.o appreciate the
teauty of music, we have escaped again.
When we read a skillful tale, when we play a game, when we lose
ourselves in work; in all these ways we are simply out of our prison and
enjoying the outdoors of t’nself.
And this is at the bottom of that command of religion which tells
us to live for others. It is based upon the psychological truth that in
proportion as the spirit of man goes out of himself and finds its interest
i*J others, it finds its true blessedness.
As a matter of fact, no man finds himself until he gets away from
himself.
