- It is a personal seek. It is subjective.

- Examples for some people:
flow state, satisfaction, feel of contentment,

- The definition keeps evolving.

- Happiness is a default state. What's there when you remove the feelings that something is missing, the desires, the craves, plans, regrets. Happiness is the absence of desire

- Happiness is the state where nothing is missing, and hence your mind is calmed. There is internal silence. There is contentment.

- It is difficult to be happy by just thinking and doing positive things. Because there is always a negative thought bonded to the positive. It is all duality and polarity.
• If you say I'm happy, then you imply that there are moments in which you are sad. If you say someone is attractive, that implies that someone else is unattractive (zero-sum game) ---- Every positive thought, has a negative aspect implied!

- Fewer desires, Happier Life.
- More acceptance/embracing of the present moment -- More Happiness/Contentment (e.g./ children are a good example of humans living in the present)

- Tips...
• Lowering your sense of self.
• Realize life is just the way it is. It doesn't care about your desires nor expectations of how things should be.

We are the only being on earth with consciousness. The weight of knowing were going to die. Capable of choosing evil or good.

A lion is never considered evil when it kills.
