The Spoils of Happiness by David Sosa for the opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com (cache: archive.org)
Happiness is more like knowledge than like belief.
[…]To live a happy life is to flourish.
[…]Happiness is harder to get. It’s enjoyed after you’ve worked for something, or in the presence of people you love, or upon experiencing a magnificent work of art or performance — the kind of state that requires us to engage in real activities of certain sorts, to confront real objects and respond to them.
An embodied knowledge situated in events and one’s immediate scene.
