True Happiness Requires a Lifetime Commitment

Perseverance is a rather unpopular concept in the modern world. Science has provided technologies. What about our lives, happiness, self-fulfillment? Are these comparable to technological miracles, or more akin to artistic masterpieces? Can a machine produce them or do they require perseverance? Addicts have tried to achieve happiness with alcohol and self-fulfillment with marijuana or LSD. The consensus is these do not work, and human goals belong with the great works that require perseverance. Perhaps people need to consider their lives to be great works.
