I would say here that life has to be balanced. We are bound to want happiness, but how do we compare it? We can only compare it to sadness perhaps? We can only know how happy we are now by comparing our feelings to how unhappy we were before. If we can stop chasing happiness and just accept where we are right now, we can have more balance. Things can feel bad, but then they will feel good again later without us really trying. We need spiritual contentment and we need enough to take care of our physical body. The problem is that unhappiness can start when we are not satisfied, even though we have enough to be physically comfortable we want more. I tend to just look to see what I enjoy now, do my work with focus and let the future take care of itself.
