Happiness
Helen Keller presents happiness as an intrinsic force, affirming that it resides within us and is crucial for overcoming difficulties. In contrast, George Bernard Shaw takes a more cynical view, suggesting that happiness might be a fleeting pleasure, as seen in his comparison of a drunken man's joy to a sober one. The Dalai Lama emphasizes personal responsibility in achieving happiness, while acknowledging the moral complexities when people pursue it at others' expense. Tension arises between the internal pursuit of happiness advocated by Keller and the external, sometimes selfish quest highlighted by the Dalai Lama.
