| Usually when I fulfill desires, then I'm happy. Because of this, I rid myself of desires that can only be fulfilled by someone or something else. Also, I have very easy desires/goals. EDIT: I also try to replace expectations with preferences. I prefer it to be sunny but I'm not going to expect that. I think a lot unhappiness comes from having unrealistic expectations of how the world should operate.

| To me happiness occurs when you are not wishing for the moment to be any different than it is. |

| Then do you believe happiness to be conditional? It is dependent on your choice? Your desires being fulfilled? And if you are wishing for the moment to be different, then are you suffering?

| I would say it is conditional on your state of mind, not conditional on your circumstances. Quote:
