Interpretation
The line defines happiness not as a fixed condition (wealth, comfort, success) but as a relational state: happiness arises from attachment and care. By making “anyone and anything at all” eligible, it democratizes happiness—ordinary people, small objects, and everyday experiences can become sources of joy when they are genuinely loved. The phrasing also implies agency: happiness is not merely found but made through the act of loving. At the same time, it hints at vulnerability, since grounding happiness in love means it can expand with connection but also be threatened by loss or neglect.
