The Myth of Happiness

We are all susceptible to the us versus them inflammation that politicians can do to us. What we really need to do is call out that division and turn away from it. The human condition does not involve 24, 7 happiness. It's my understanding that dopamine is a very fleeting... our body doesn't want us to be happy and rest. Our body wants to go get more mates, more resources, more food. That makes sense to me in terms of both Buddhism and neurochemistry.
