"I've been thinking about happiness and how to find it. I'm realizing that the opposite of happiness is not sadness. The opposite of happiness is boredom.
Happiness isn't a state, it's a sensation we notice based on contrast or change - like a wind that hits wet hands or the shift in light as the sun sets or rises. It doesn't stay. It's not permanent.
If it did or if it was it would cease to exist because it only exists in comparison to what has become normal. If it stayed it would become its opposite. It would become boredom.
You don't get it and keep it, but you can find it - fleeting as it may be - most often while engaging actively (anxiously even) in the service of those around us." @tommy_rivs https://m.facebook.com/tommyrivs/photos/a.626113714187981/1968514359947903/?type=3&comment_id=1969966469802692
