    That all sounds very idealistic, dare I say naive.

    People do not typically assess their own happiness by looking at those less fortunate than themselves. They may feel a sense of relief that their situation isn’t as severe but that is not happiness.

    Human beings fall ill and pass on, every day. Those are guaranteed outcomes. So yes, while we may all have unique challenges there are some core facets to the human experience that none of us can escape. People who suggest that happiness is anything but fleeting and impermanent are deluding themselves.

    The human experience itself is fragile and unpredictable. How then can human happiness not be?

      Ah, a nihilist. I know my limits, and virtually nothing I can say will change your mind because it’s still closed, and you likely already have an answer to any questions you ask.

      However, I’ll leave you with this:

      You can see it as naive and idealistic, and sure, I get it. But I never claimed happiness is permanent. It’s a worldview, and those can and should change. How they change is entirely up to the individual.

      You have more control over your path than you realize, and those who benefit from a defeated or complacent populace are terrified of you realizing it.
