Happiness is like a butterfly; the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.
~ Henry David Thoreau

Happiness is like a butterfly in other ways, too. For example the pupa stage when the butterfly is in a protective chrysalis. That is like when happiness isn't here yet, but it's getting ready to be here. For most butterflies we're talking 8-15 days which I don't think is too long to wait for happiness.
For some though it is longer - like two years. If you sit around waiting for happiness for two years then you're not doing your part. You could be happier sooner if you tried. Why you don't try eludes me.
