Happiness

Bliss, samadhi, happiness.  No matter what you call it, it is humanities most coveted emotion.  It is our natural state.  Look at a child.  Running carefree through life, laughing, playing enjoying every moment.  A state of mind - that's all it is.  Of course there's an associated body feeling that comes along with it.  But at its root there is a thought.  "I like this"  "I love this"  "This feels good"  and when we are in this state, what more do we need?  The house on the hill?  The car in the garage?  That special someone to spend time with?  What do all of these things do for us?  In our minds we belive that having them will make us happy.  So if we are already happy then what do we need?  I will leave that question for you to answer.  Blessings in all your endevours.
