What is Happiness?

What is happiness? Is it getting everything you want? Does your happiness grow with the size of your apartment?

Happiness is simply the absence of unhappiness, just as health is the absence of illness.

There’s no need to struggle to drive away the darkness. Lighting a small candle to bring in the light will naturally dispel the darkness. The absence of light is darkness, and the absence of disease is health. Similarly, the absence of unhappiness is happiness.
