When I read Hemingway's quote, I immediately saw the validity in it and related the statement to the idea that intelligent people often understand and remain aware of the world's problems. When plagued with the thought of other's troubles, one struggles to ameliorate their own; however, I understand the viewpoint you presented.Katherine Kampfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01085137314344852713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5552211147014568069.post-25985020049409900772012-11-28T18:44:59.664-08:002012-11-28T18:44:59.664-08:00Derek, your humorous post reminded me of my apprec...Derek, your humorous post reminded me of my appreciation and detest for Hemingway's quote. Initially, I agreed with the idea as when pondering about my stereotypical image of an intelligent person, I found him/her to live very cynically. I felt as though I could relate to what Hemingway said, but then I realized that the utilization of intelligence causes happiness to flourish and thus discarded the quote as merely an attack on the intelligent. Collectively, I still cannot side with your idea that the Hemingway's thought has no truth to it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5552211147014568069.post-24887429976902327462012-11-28T14:19:06.134-08:002012-11-28T14:19:06.134-08:00I agree with your point that happiness always come...I agree with your point that happiness always comes back to the starting point. In my opinion, I believe Ms. Serensky had us share our answers with that intention. As I shared my answers, I realized that everyone had a valid point and happiness does not have a singular meaning. On another note, I found this entry very funny Derek!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
