The meanings of happiness and pleasure are used interchangeably in our world. Happiness and pleasure are not the same concept and to think so is dangerous. Pleasure seeking will not bring us happiness. Conversely, happiness is rarely found in pleasant activities, or activities designed to avoid pain or hardship.

I actually am a bit frustrated, annoyed, and embarrassed as well- all because of the epilepsy, and my main happiness with that is blocked at the moment. I am actually excited in a two weeks- a virtual reunion with the Original Cast of Frozen. So, one of the main ways I deal with that epilepsy is musical theatre- but still not in person. However, Blumenthal is still releasing their upcoming season in March. However, there are still no answers to the epilepsy
