My mother and I were speaking this morning on the topic of happiness, and I posed the same question to her: what else is there to happiness aside from safety? I added the hypothesis that perhaps interest is a part of what creates happiness. She disagreed, stating that it is a side-effect of happiness, and not a cause of it.
"You'll find interest in whatever you do, if you are happy" she says. "Boredom is a side-effect of discontent."
Interesting.
Also we both agree, though we are reluctant to say it.
Money does buy happiness, if our theory holds true.
