It all comes down to believing that someone else can complete us and MAKE US HAPPY! It's a fantasy but we all buy into
People in our lives (or lack thereof) do not make us happy. Things in our lives (or lack thereof) do not make us happy.
Or rather, these things do not make us happy for long. We habituate to that kind of happiness very quickly.
Just "Being" in the moment and not thinking for a time can make us happy. When our minds (egos) are noisey, we aren't in the moment, and we miss that quiet joy.
Not that you can just go around like some hippy on a perpetually good acid trip, always in the moment, always at a distance from your ego. But... you can be happy almost no matter what (I think it may be harder under extreme physical pain, but even then... "you are so focused on the physical pain, you don't have time to make yourself emotionally miserable", says my ego--smile).
I've been thinking about this lately (There's my ego again--smile). Our ego is a tool. It isn't who we are. Our conciousness is more than our ego, it is more than our emotions. Part of who we are can only be reached if our mind is quiet sometimes.
