@alignment Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful response. I really do believe that happiness is just a mental state, it's up to you to be happy!
I also strongly agree that happiness can thrive when desires fade away. Happiness is not about having , it is about not needing to have.
@lordneroo You are a true philosopher my friend and I am pleased to add my following to your numbers, for what little it is worth. That last sentence sums it all up!
@andyfishman I truly appreciate your support more than you can imagine! Thank you for your kind words!
