The Distribution of
Happiness - by P.K.Odendaal - March 2013.
We all should be engaged in the pursuit of happiness, but
somehow the activity eludes us, because there are so many other things which
occupy our thoughts and acts - and so the pursuit of happiness it filters down
to the oblivion of the subconscious. When we realise that we are not happy, we
wonder why that is, and it is simply because we did not pursue it. How can we
realise or attain something when we do not pursue it? That only happens in
fairy tales.
The notion of distribution is very easy and well known. The
population of the earth is not spread evenly over the whole earth. If that was
the case the distribution of the population over the earth would have been
constant or homogenous. But now there are more people in cities than in rural
areas, so that the distribution of the population is uneven. It is also valid
for almost anything else like pressure, rain, poverty, minerals and wealth. We
will return to the latter later on.
