Happiness for some too often requires unhappiness in others

This quote from Bertrand Russell popped up today:

If there were in the world today any large number of people who desired their own happiness more than they desired the unhappiness of others, we could have paradise in a few years.

Doesn't that seem to nail that last Presidential campaign? The winner relied so heavily on a need by so many to make some many others unhappy.

Here's the quote page. And here's the same quote nicely overlaid on a photo of Mr. Russell.
