Eric Weiner Quotes

Worst Of All Was Freud. While Not Technically A Brooding Philosopher, Freud Did Much To Shape Our Views On Happiness. He Once Said: "The Intention That Man Should Be Happy Is Not In The Plan Of Creation." That Is A Remarkable Statement, Especially Coming From A Man Whose Ideas Forged The Foundation Of Our Mental-health System. Imagine If Some Doctor In Turn-of-the-century Vienna Had Declared: "The Intention That Man Should Have A Healthy Body Is Not In The Plan Of Creation." We'd Probably Lock Him Up, Or At Least Strip Him Of His Medical License. We Certainly Wouldn't Base Our Entire Medical System On His Ideas. Yet That Is Exactly What We Did With Freud.
