Hmm.. thats a poor comparison Shamou. Not a lot of people can do or achieve what they did. Also how do you know that they were not happy? They probably were happy with themselves but they used their life for humanity.
Talking about pursuit of happiness reminded me of the movie with the same title. The story of Chris is very impressive and inspiring. However, one perspective of the movie says that happiness is about money. I disagree. Money definitely brings in more comfort but does not guarantee happiness. There have been who have become rich and "happy", lost their money and commited suicide.
What Shivraj is talking about is an internal state - pure happiness or bliss...which can be seen in the face of a baby. It does not depend on how much money you have, or what kind of house you live in or what car you are driving. Its a natural state of being.
