If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness, then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true:【B2】______, things that lead to happiness involve some pain. As a result, many people avoid the very【B3】______ that are the source of true happiness.
    Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. He might tell you that he is afraid of【B4】______, for it is in fact quite painful. The single life is【B5】______ fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most【B6】______ features. Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three-day【B7】______. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children.

    Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating【B8】______.
