IMHO, contentment is the goal. Not Happiness.

Contentment doesn't start wars. Contentment doesn't kill. Contentment doesn't steal. Contentment doesn't destroy families.

But if you drill down deep enough, every one of these things could be caused by someone's(however warped it may be) desire to find happiness.

With apologies to anyone who may have been affected by this - I heard it said once and tend to agree with the statement that even people who commit suicide, who take their own life, are seeking happiness - the freedom from the despair they find themselves in.

Now that I've cast a shadow on the 'happy' thread, I want to thank ANM for reminding me of what's really important. -Thanks.
