Trancecoachsays...Kaufman makes me *happy!
siftbotsays...Adding video to channels (Happy) - requested by Trancecoach.
JustSayingsays...Andy got it exactly right. Happiness is a gluttonous maw that will only close for a moment at a time to swallow whatever you've thrown into it. No matter how much goes into that bottomless pit, sooner or later it'll open again to demand more sacrifice. Happiness is is overrated. Happiness is the sarlacc pit of the soul.
Satisfaction is where it's at. Once you are content with your life, everything you have will be enough. It'll do and you will be fine.

lucky760says...That was my initial thought as well. Wouldn't surprise me if we were right.

shinyblurrysays...I agree; happiness is transient exactly because it based only upon favorable circumstances. Sooner or later circumstances will change and we will no longer be happy. To be content in any situation means that you must have something which is transcendent of your circumstances. What do you see that as being? Let's say for instance that you have a very adverse circumstance, like you have gone from being relatively healthy to having a crippling disability. How would you become content in that situation?
