I don’t understand humans obsession with happiness. I get that in a world plagued with suffering happiness easily feels like a cure, but I just sit sometimes and wonder if this(happiness) is it? Should life be summed up by a repetitive creation of happiness to cushion the suffering? Sounds hellish to me...lol
What you said about emotions being symptoms are true. Same thing with depression. They are basically pointers.

What would be a better model for living?
If we didn't have happiness, what would be the incentive to live?
Ataraxia. A meh state of mind. A state which you move through life the way ducks wade through mud. Unperturbed. Unbothered.
Thank you
Thank you❤️
