I do not know what happiness is.
If it is true
that no matter how painful something is,
that will only show that I am advancing on the correct road.
Then
all the rises and falls of these mountain peaks
are really each of the necessary steps
that will lead me towards happiness.
In order
to achieve the fullest happiness
I will have to experience
all of these many sorrows.
