Happiness is good health and bad memory - Ingrid Bergman


Happiness is something subjective. It means different things to different people. One can be happy with just having food on the table; others find happiness in the eyes of their beloved ones, while for third ones happiness is measured with new clothes and material things.

However we can all agree that first of all happiness comes with good health. One can buy lots of things, one can succeed in many areas of his or her life but he or she can never buy good health. What use do we have of large houses, luxurious cars or expensive jewelry if we are not able to truly enjoy them?

Moreover Ingrid Bergman was right to say that except for good health happiness comes with bad memory. As weird as it may seem the happiest people on earth are the ones with short memory. Those people do not remember the bad things that have happened to them, they easily forget the small argues they’ve had with their best friends and family members. How many people have destroyed great friendships, only in the sake of small insignificant quarrels? Sometimes it’s just not worth the troubles.

I have to say that many things in life can bring someone happiness. However I, personally, believe that most of all happiness comes with good health and as awkward as it may seem – bad memory.
