[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 686668, member: 18958"] I do not believe this. One can feel "happy" with too much to drink or pills or drugs. What is happy, really? Happy, really happy, comes in a moment--a breeze on one's face, a smile, completing an arduous task, reflecting upon a smile of a loved one. I felt happy yesterday when my son said he felt happy working hard. I feel happy when I remember he is in my house and there is not turmoil, fear, anger--I have him close and I can feel love. That to me is happiness. Happiness is not the absence of pain altogether. I believe Hemingway, Da Vinci, whomever felt a form of happiness while engrossed in their craft. Perhaps their only real happiness. There is a concept that goes by many names, such as the zone, referring to moving in ones consciousness away from the ego into a place of creativity or bliss. I think that is how these greats found their happiness, through creating. [/QUOTE]
