To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
78 The Quest of Happiness.
It was believed, without any evidence, that human happiness was distasteful to Him, and consequently that the pursuit of it was sinful. Still, the pursuit of happiness went forward, as it is impossible for a whole commun- ity to detach itself from the interests of life and live like a Carmelite nun. Even in the gloomiest hour of Scottish asceticism people got married and procreated children, though their children came into a society which had made itself so unpleasant... that they might have done better to keep out of it. " To be poor, dirty, and hungry, to pass through life in misery, and to leave it with fear, to be plagued with boils, sores, and diseases of every kind, to be always sighing and groan- ing, to have the face streaming with tears and the chest heaving with sobs ; in a word, to suffer constant affliction, and to be tor- mented in all possible ways, to undergo these things was deemed a proof of goodness, just as the contrary was a proof of evil. It mat- tered not what a man liked, the mere fact of his liking it made it sinful.
