Rejoicing in Others’ Happiness

ONE of the widest and truest paths to happiness is the willingness to rejoice with and for others. Sympathy with another's joy, and pleasure in another's success, are pure and lasting forms of enjoyment. When we learn to say heartily, with Whittier:—
“What matter, I or they, Mine or another day, So the right word be said, And life the sweeter made?”
we shall find no day without its own bit of happiness, and life will seem increasingly worth living.—Selected.
