I think what makes people unhappy is that in their never ending search for happiness (which all humans are doing, whether they recognize it or not) they keep stumbling upon things that they think will make them happy, but really end up making them even more unhappy. I think people actually look to find happiness in a good joint, or a night of drinking, or sex. And I think that at the end of that search, when they've tried those avenues, they find that there really is no true, lasting satisfaction therein. So they continue in their search, oftentimes coming back to those same pleasures they sought refuge in before, already knowing that they will not provide that happiness. The pattern is cyclical, depressing, and never ending, unless you do at last find what true happiness is. I suggest to you that there is such a thing as true happiness. I suggest every human can find it. I further suggest that most of us already know what it is, and some acknowledge it, and some spend all of their lives rejecting it...
