"The soul of a child, as it reaches out toward understanding, has need of the treasures accumulated by the human species through the centuries. We do injury to a child if we bring it up in a narrow Christianity, which prevents it from ever becoming capable of perceiving that there are treasures of the purest gold to be found in non-Christian civilizations. Laical [secular] education does an even greater injury to children. It covers up these treasures and those of Christianity as well." Simone Weil

Happiness

What is happiness?
Is it being excited about living?
Is it loving the people in your life?
Is it sharing, even with those you don't know?
Is it creating life and sustaining that life to maturity, in a child or a tree?
Is it small acts of kindness that make a big difference in the lives of others?
It is all these things and more.
I am happy.
Are you?
What makes you happy?
