In your opinion were we born to continuously create situations that allow us happiness OR is our natural state of being to be happy?
For me it is our natural state of being to be happy BUT we are endlessly unhappy and trying to create happiness because we have convinced ourselves that we are always lacking and need more and more and more. Why? Because that is how my parents did it, how the community does it, how our religiousness orginizations do it by preaching for us to focus on FINDING ultimate fulfillment and joy in a relationship with God. Attempting to find your fulfillment in God is a continuous searching thru your desert of unhappiness. If you understood that happiness is your nature you would not need to search to find this God that is on his or her pedestal somewhere far away.
