NEED HELP FAST

I could not today start out with any zest to see the most marvelous sight in the world unless I were taking with me someone to whom I knew the journey would be a joy. It may be a drawback which comes with age-you do not crave any new sensations and experiences as much as you did in youth-but it is one of its compensations that you are so much better able to enjoy through other people. You can even sit at home and be happy visualizing others that you love enjoying things which you have prepared them to see and to understand.

—“What I Hope to Leave Behind,”
Eleanor Roosevelt

Other people’s happiness is important to your own happiness.
