It is dawning more and more on my awareness that we cannot help others be happy when they refuse to want to be happy. Unless we genuinely believe we can say something that might cheer them up it may b better to just b silent and find others that r happy or enjoy our own happiness.
Happiness is not a condition dependent upon outward conditions but rather a state of being. There is a way to 'connect' with happiness. It comes thru meditation. This kind of happiness is more lasting then happiness that is dependent upon outward conditions which can change suddenly. Duality is a condition of this material existence; so being here, we are subject to alternating states of sadness and happiness. However rising above duality, flattening the waves of thought and entering peace, bliss, joy and happiness is beyond the conditions of earthly existence. This is possible thru the continuing practice of meditation.
Happiness is also attainable by just the absolute knowing.
