For me, my goal was never to be happy (or unhappy) but to be content, i think that happiness is the wrong question and goal because no one can be happy indefinitely.

I'm same, thanks for sharing that. Peace of mind is priceless and precious for me. I read that book called 'the happiness trap' and it really changed my perception ❤

14 years of Conservative "positive psychology" in the UK have apparently produced the most unhappy teenagers in Europe, figures from the Children's Society have just revealed. Which makes me think that elements such as inequality, having your freedom of movement removed by your parents etc, are more important
