The "Bluebird of Happiness" is a symbol of joy and contentment, often depicted in literature and art. It represents the pursuit of happiness and the idea that true joy can be found in simple pleasures. The bluebird is commonly associated with positive emotions and is a popular motif in various cultures.
The concept gained prominence through the play "The Bluebird" by Maurice Maeterlinck, which explores the quest for happiness. In the story, two children embark on a journey to find the bluebird, only to discover that happiness is often found within oneself and in the love of family and friends.
