THE FUTURE 31

IF ……

Happiness

I asked professors who teach the meaning of life to tell me what is happiness.

And I went to famous executives who boss the work of thousands of men.

They all shook their heads and gave me a smile as though I was trying to fool with them.

And then one Sunday afternoon I wandered out along the Deplaines river

And I saw a crowd of Hungarians under the trees with their woman and children and a keg of beer and an accordion.
