I have never thought about this before yesterday. It came to me via the internet, so already I’m skeptical.

However, happiness is not something I ever really thought I deserved, so I have always un consciously unconditionally pushed it away and those who brought it away.

Happiness is long-term and comes from giving and caring about someone besides yourself.

Pleasure is a short-term selfish and self-centered manner that eventually leads to addiction in many/most/all/me.

Now I know.
