Happiness,
as the Brazilian poet Vinicius de Moraes put it, is
‘like a feather flying in the air. It flies light, but not for very long.’
Happiness is a human construct,
an abstract idea with no equivalent in actual human experience.
Positive and negative affects do reside in the brain,
but sustained happiness has no biological basis.
—Rafael Euba, Why Striving for Happiness Makes People Miserable
Happiness is a human construct.
Stop trying to be happy.
Be content.
