Happiness Powerful Comfort

More From Dean Karnazes

I think we all mistake certain things for happiness. i think we mistake comfort for happiness and we mistake pleasure for happiness, and entertainment for happiness, when really these are just things we use as proxies for our happiness. we use them to cheer us up or try and achieve brief happiness, when really happiness is something much more profound and long lasting and exists within us.
Cheer Mistake Thinking
Children are meant to understand compassion and comfort because they have received compassion and comfort - and this should be in the family setting. a family should be a place where comfort is experienced and understood, so that the people are prepared to give comfort to others.
Forgiveness Children Compassion
I had always been taught that the pursuit of happiness was my natural (even national) birthright. it is the emotional trademark of my culture to seek happiness. not just any kind of happiness, either, but profound happiness, even soaring happiness. and what could possibly bring a person more soaring happiness than romantic love.
Emotional Romantic Love Pursuit Of Happiness
The way of the lord is the way of happiness. ‘wickedness never was happiness’ [alma 41:10]. transgression never was happiness. sin never was happiness. disobedience never was happiness. the way of happiness is following the way of the lord. i believe this with all my heart.
Believe Heart Wickedness
A lot of people say there is no happiness in this life, and certainly there's no permanent happiness. but self-sufficiency creates happiness. happiness is a state of bliss. just because you're satisfied one moment - saying yes, it's a good meal, makes me happy - well, that's not going to necessarily be true the next hour. life has its ups and downs, and time has to be your partner. time is your soul mate. children are happy. but they haven't really experienced ups and downs yet. i'm not exactly sure what happiness even means. i don't know if i personally could define it.
Children Mean Self
There are two kinds of happiness - the temporary pleasure derived primarily from material comfort alone and another more enduring comfort that results from the thorough transformation and development of the mind. we can see in our own lives that the latter form of happiness is superior because when our mental state is calm and happy, we can easily put up with minor pains and physical discomforts. on the other hand, when our mind is restless and upset, the most comfortable physical facilities do not make us happy.
