The more I think about it, it seems that long-term happiness is something many people spend their lives seeking OR they believe it’s something they used to have and lost.
That makes me wonder if we are truly ever happy? Or if it’s something that is always just out of reach (in the future or in the past).
I’d look into Stoocism.
Eeeehhhhh Stoicism is more about not being sad than it is about being happy.
