Happiness gurus commit suicide

From here:

Suicide notes were found with the bodies of a couple who took their own lives last week, police sources said.

Lynne Rosen, 46, and John Littig, 48, who worked as ‘happiness gurus’ and motivational speakers, allegedly left two notes at their home in Brooklyn, New York.

They hosted a monthly radio show together called ‘The Pursuit of Happiness’ on WBAI-FM.

A sad but fitting metaphor for the land that has enshrined the pursuit of happiness in its Declaration of Independence. There is nothing that makes happiness more elusive than pursuing it.

As William Blake observed:

He who binds to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity’s sun rise.
