in the glass on one side the work is

Causes of Unhappines0.

The worst kinds of unhappiness, as
well as the greatest amount of it,
come from our conduct to each other.
If our conduct, therefore, were under
the control of kindness, it would be
nearly the opposite of what it is, and
so the state of the world would be
almost reversed. We are for the most
part unhappy, because the world is an
unkind world. But the world is only
unkind for the lack of kindness in us
