Guest i***k*** Report post Posted September 27, 2009 There is no person, possession, circumstance or event that will ever make us happy, because if happiness is gained from any of these it will change to disappointment when the life current flows. While I love your posts Cat. I do have to disagree with this particular statement. Best regards. Ina Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest e**m***h Report post Posted September 28, 2009 Darling Leah, This is exactly what I mean by the emotion we call "love" which in fact isn't. Love is never needy, or insistent. It does not impose itself on the inner peace we all strive to achieve. This unstable emotion feeds a part of our brain that hinges our happiness on things that are transient in nature and because change is inevitable, dooms us to a letdown when things finally change. There is no person, possession, circumstance or event that will ever make us happy, because if happiness is gained from any of these it will change to disappointment when the life current flows. Happiness comes from being at peace with this very moment no matter what it holds. Love is the ability to look at the "Now" and appreciate all the aspects it presents... Cat You are wise, and a beautiful writer. :-D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
