Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Drawn from what Voltaire said
happiness What makes a life go well: whether it is meaning, love, virtue, enough money, or simply expecting less.
In our unhappy world it is impossible for men living in society not to be divided into two classes, the one the rich that commands, the other the poor that serves; and these two are subdivided into a thousand, and these thousand still have different gradations.
