Indeed but as long as you're not doing it with a view to attaining happiness somewhere down the line.

I like to think of it as the difference between looking at the world with both eyes wide open and taking in every single detail you can and looking at the world in your peripheral vision only.

You've still got your eyes wide open but you take in so much less because your focus is in the wrong place.

This may sound crazy but there really NEVER is a future. There is only using the present to relive the past or right NOW, which the only reality. The future is well, always NOW. This is hard to realize sometimes.

Indeed but a delicious mind...bender into absolute knowingness it is so and all there is to do is giggle with the feeling
