NOTE

**What is happiness? **

Happiness is a personal concept with varying definitions for different individuals. It is described as a default state when nothing feels lacking, leading to internal silence, contentment, and happiness. It is not about positive thoughts but rather the absence of desires for external things. Happiness is found in embracing the present moment, avoiding attachment to temporary situations, and accepting reality as it is. Nature has no concept of happiness or unhappiness, as everything is perfect following a chain of cause and effect.
