Quote: So you are saying that your natural 'state of being' is happy and peaceful, and the external world and its events can throw your natural state into kilter.
And because the world is an unpredictable place, it is impossible for you to determine how your happiness and peace may be affected on any given day.
This is close. Very close.
But I think instead of saying that my natural state is "happy," it's more like my natural state is "calm" or "content." Anyway --something a little less than "happy."
But I do have bursts of happiness that seem to come out of nowhere, in that they're unrelated to any real event in my life.
And I also have waves of unhappiness, or even depression, that wash over me -- sometimes they're connected to real, external events, sometimes (probably more often than not) they're not.
I am so eager to see where you're going with this.
