THE ROAD TO HAPPINESS IS ALWAYS UNDER CONSTRUCTION

If happiness was created through money and luxuries _ rich men would have never been gloomy and sad. Smiles are never permanent. Flowers bloom in the spring and get gloom in the autumn. None can avoid these two seasons of the universe. Undoubtedly, route of happiness gets never completed; it is always under construction.

In the book, Prince of Abyssinia, by Samuel Johnson. Rasselas, the prince, had everything of world. But, he could not live happily in his palace. He left his palace and looked for happiness in the world. And, naturally, he could find it nowhere. Likewise; one cannot have long-lasting happiness and merriments. As Spanish proverb states , "There is no happiness, there are only moments of happiness"

Everyone wants and looks for happiness. Happiness is not an apple which falls itself or one easily plucks it off. It is a road which is rocky, rigid, dried and thorny. One has to stand insurmountable and work hard to across it but he shall find himself frequently unhappy on the road unto happiness. As an olden proverb is, “Call no Man Happy till he is Dead.” Indeed, man lives, expects, desires, feels panic and never lives permanently happy life.

One must try to do those works which give smiles to one's soul. The works which are for betterment of humankind. Every individual should strive to help in constructing the road to happiness. This process of constructing shall go on until and unless there is life on earth.

No, it is because of conditional sentence Type 3.

Example:

If I were rich, I would have helped you.

Or

If I had been rich, I would have helped you.

You may use 'were' in place of 'had been' wherever applicable.

If he were rich, he would have helped you.

I think, it is right.

A good attempt, no doubt..

Across it or cross it??
In the sentence I have underlined above, you have used the subject 'one', but in the same sentence you have used 'he'. When you use 'one', it must follow 'one' and 'oneself', thus the sentence should be,
one shall find oneself frequently unhappy on the road unto happiness.
Shouldn't it be so??

Yes, you are right. I make the same mistake. Perhaps, it has been my habit to write like this.
I am avoiding it. Usman Khalid and others always warn me about this mistake. haha!
Thanks, Dear. Keep on helping.
