You have boiled some fundamental things down to their essence and truth, however, as someone who has struggled for a lifetime to overcome childhood trauma being happy is not that simple or easy. I’ve had to learn and I’m still learning, so far it’s taken me over half my life. In a way I envy those who find life simple and easy, but I also value to the depth I experience, the richness that comes from not being afraid to experience the dark as well as the light, and the compassion I have for those that are still suffering which gives me the solidity to be able to help them. Happinness is part of a tapestry, but not the whole thing. Ironically, I’m far happier through having embraced my pain than I ever was when I didn’t realise I was in pain.
