I was just reading in de Mello's "Awareness" this morning:

"...but you can't have the wrong notion on happiness. Did you think happiness was excitement or thrills? That's what causes the depression.... You're thrilled. all right, but you are just preparing for your next depression. You're thrilled but you pick-up the anxiety behind that: How can I make it last? That's not happiness, that' addiction......... There's only one reason why you're not experiencing bliss at this present moment, and it's because you're thinking or focussing on what you don't have..."

Have a great day everyone
