Good morning ! Watching from Thailand.

Prithi (the mental factoy called happiness) is something we can make for free, and use it to remove the pain that caused by anger and sadness (sadness is a reaction of anger). Ven. Ajahn Brahm said that he tried to smile every morning to be happy. Also, we can have a desire (Chanda) to be happy (Prithi), but desire must not be associated with attachment (Raaga) if we have a desire to remove greed (greed). Desire is like a choice. The cause of suffering is greed (desired-attachment), not the pure desire. Also, the body can make an affection or a good feeling without a support from desire. The Buddha said that he felt good when he knew that the wind he felt was caming from the city he lived. 🙏🙏🙏
