Счастье бывает маленькое и большое, мимолетное и на всю жизнь. Каждый день, час, минуту человек может испытывать крохотное счастье.
Над такими понятиями, как счастье, любовь, бились многие мудрецы; писатели, поэты и просто обыкновенные люди, но результат был таков: сколько людей — столько определений.
Но человек со своим ненасытным любопытством не удовлетворился таким раскладом вещей: раз нельзя дать определение, тогда надо найти счастье или счастливого человека.
Эти поиски продолжаются и по сей день и будут продолжаться.
