Slow Down, Be Happy

Re “Life, Liberty Wasted in the Pursuit of Sappiness,” Commentary, Sept. 3: I believe Eric L. Rozenman was right on with his belief that modern-day America twists Thomas Jefferson’s words. I agree that we are not happy and will not be happy if we keep rushing all the time, even when eating and abusing our bodies. We all need to slow down and take a good look at what happiness is. Once we can determine what true happiness is, we can truly pursue it. Thank you for your insight on our society.
