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.

Well, I am not fully happy at the moment- there are some things I am happy about.
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

Happiness is the most important experience we want for those we love, including ourselves. We need happiness in our lives for many more reasons than just feeling good occasionally. This answers why is happiness important because it helps us be better people for ourselves, the ones we love, and our community.

So I don’t feel true happiness is able to be felt without feeling all of the sadness, pain, disappointment etc. It’s like the Disney movie Inside Out. We need to go through the real struggles and Yuck to know what it means to experience joy and happiness. Depending on how much muck you walk through, when the happy experiences happen you can truly live in them until the next wave of emotion. As a society, I feel that people are constantly wanting to be “happy” and that is why so many people are medicated today. What I think needs to be taught is the importance of the negative experiences that make the good ones feel all the better. Life was never meant to be only about seeking happiness. It’s about experiencing everything and being able to be in the moment and learn from them.

Happiness is an expression in agreement to elements of life that have come together, and worked for you.
