The pursuit of happiness can be an obstacle to happiness, but without pursuing it, we may not experience it.
- We want to be happy
- We think being happy is to get what we want
- Attachment to what we want causes suffering
- So, attached to being happy, we suffer.
But giving up on happiness is not the way either.
According to the Dalai Lama, the pursuit of happiness is universal. Like it or not, everyone wants to be happy.
