Adornment follows Happiness

This is from an article in Greater Good Magazine–

Keep your friends close… Perhaps the dominant finding from this line of (happiness) research is that social connections are key to happiness. Studies show that happy people engage in more social activities. But some research indicates it’s the quality more than the quantity of our social interactions that really matter, suggesting that making time for those closest to us—people in whom we can confide and who’ll support us when we’re down—will bring us more happiness.

… and your enemies closer. Well, maybe not closer, but you might want to refrain from making enemies in the first place: Research suggests that holding grudges is a quick ticket to unhappiness. Groundbreaking studies show that when we forgive those who have wronged us, we feel better about ourselves, experience more positive emotions, and feel closer to others.

And something else Not Quite Relevant, but a photo I couldn’t resist… The website I borrowed it from didn’t have identification. Do you know who it is?

    not sure if it is a movie image… or perhaps a bit earlier than the 70′s – does the man look a bit like Bobby Kennedy to you?
