Passage 1

The Road to Happiness

There are a great many people who have all the material conditions

of

happiness,

i.e.

health

and

a

sufficient

income,

and

who,

nevertheless,

are profoundly unhappy. In such cases it would seem as if the fault must

lie with a wrong theory as to how to live. In one sense, we may say that

any

theory

as

to

how

to

live

is

wrong.

We

imagine

ourselves

more

different

from the animals than we are. Animals live on impulse, and are happy as

long

as

external

conditions

are

favorable.

If

you

have

a

cat,

it

will

enjoy

life if it has

food and

warmth

and opportunities for

an occasional night

on

the

tiles.

Your

needs

are

more

complex

than

those

of

your

cat,

but

they

still have their basis on instinct. In civilized societies, especially

in English-speaking societies, this is too apt to be forgotten. People

propose to themselves some one paramount objective, and restrain all

impulses that do not minister to it.

A businessman may be so anxious to grow rich that to this end he

sacrifices

health

and

private

affections.

When

at

last

he

has

become

rich,

no pleasure remains to him except harrying other people by exhortations

to imitate his noble example. Many rich ladies, although nature has not

endowed them with any spontaneous pleasure in literature or art, decide

to be thought cultured, and spend boring hours learning the right thing

to say about fashionable

new books that

are written to

give delight, not

to afford opportunities for dusty snobbism.

Love Is Difficult

It

is

good

to

love,

but

love

is

difficult.

For

one

human

being

to

love

another human being is perhaps the most difficult task that has been

entrusted

to

us

—

the

ultimate

task,

the

final

test

and

proof,

the

work

for

which

all

other

work

is

merely

preparation.

That

is

why

young

people,

who are beginners in everything, are not yet capable of love: it is

something

they

must

learn.

With

their

whole

being,

with

all

their

forces,

gathered

around

their

solitary,

anxious,

upward-beating

heart,

they

must

learn to love. But learning time is always a long, secluded time ahead

and far on into life, and is solitude, a heightened and deepened kind of

aloneness

for

the

person

who

loves.

Loving

does

not

at

first

mean

merging,

surrendering

or

uniting

with

another

person;

it

is

a

high

inducement

for

the

individual

to

ripen,

to

become

something

in

himself,

to

become

world

in

himself

for

the

sake

of

another

person;

it

is

a

great,

demanding

claim

on him, something that

chooses him and

calls him to

vast distances. Only

in

this

sense,

as

the

task

of

working

on

themselves,

may

young

people

use

the love that is given to them. Merging and surrendering and every kind

of

communion

is

not

for

them,

who

must

still,

for

a

long,

long

time,

save

and gather themselves; it is the ultimate, it is perhaps that for which

human lives are as yet barely large enough.

Passage 3

Business of Insurance Companies

Insurance

companies

do

two

types

of

business.

One

is

general

insurance

against

various

forms

of

risk,

and

the

other

is

long- term

insurance

which

is mainly life insurance.

General

insurers

will

agree

to

pay

a

person

or

company

a

sum

of

money

in

the

event

of

something

happening

or

not

happening.

It

’

s

a

big

business

today.

If

the

project

succeeds,

shareholders

in

your

company

will

expect

to be paid a dividend. If you ask an insurer to underwrite your project,

2

then he will require a payment in advance, a premium. If the project

succeeds,

he

keeps

the

premium,

but

you

don

’

t

pay

him

anything

else.

Paying

a premium to an insurer or underwriter is often cheaper than paying a

dividend to shareholders. If fewer dividends are paid to shareholders,

then more money can be kept as retention to finance the company

’

s next

project.

Another

type

of

insurance

business

is

the

life

insurance.

It

differs

basically from general insurance in that it is based not on risk but on

certainty

—

the certainty that each of us will one day die. Life

insurance

is

the

basis

of

pension

funds

which

provide

for

retirement

and

guard against other contingencies such as ill-health, but is best seen

by the financial economist as a means of collecting many small savings

to put together into large investments, in short, as a form of

intermediation.

Passage 4

Seasonal Affective Disorder

Some

people

feel

sad

or

depressed

during

the

winter

months

in

northern

areas

of

the

world.

They

may

have

trouble

eating

or

sleeping.

They

suffer

from a condition known as Seasonal Affective Disorder, or S-A-D.

Victims of S-A-D suffer its effects during the short, dark days of

winter. The problems are most severe in the months when there are fewer

hours of daylight. When spring arrives, these signs disappear and S-A-D

victims feel well again.

The

National

Mental

Health

Association

reports

that

S-A-D

can

affect

anyone.

The

group

says

young

people

and

women

are

at

the

highest

risk

for

the disorder. It says that an estimated 25 percent of the American

population suffers from some form of S-A-D. About 5 percent suffer from

a severe form of the disorder. Many people in other parts of the world

also have the condition.
