Happiness

I have been playing with this concept today upon realizing my mind has become bored and despondent.

As long as one focuses on what they do not have, pining for it in expectation that the gaining of it will make them happy, they are forever suspended in suffering or anedonia (for example) until they obtain it.

A person can desire and quest for something they value for their entire life, yet never find it.

Therefore, I need to have such things diminish in their weight if I am to survive the journey in better cheer than being strapped to a gurney.

These things can still maintain my focus, but I must also focus on what I have currently – and maximize the benefits.
