Happiness

Principal requisites of earthly happiness which no one can deny according to Tolstoy:
1. Life close to nature - clean air, sunlight, natural sounds, fresh food
2. Physical labor - congenial, free, necessary, giving appetite and sleep
3. Family life - one wife, care of kids
4. Free, friendly communication with men as equals
5. Health and a painless death
