Man and happiness: the path to self

I can't write, as I don't know how to stop at the right word, at the right moment. But would like to continue the thought... There is always something not enough, something wrong and for some reason not right. Think back to the last moment when you were ABSOLUTELY happy! Did it work? And how long did that euphoria last? A second, five or a minute? Alas, it is impossible to be happy indefinitely, although it is still fortunate.

How I wish the #sun would shine.
How I want a son and a daughter - to love.
How I long for the night...to fall asleep with you.
How I long for the morning - hugs, kisses.
How I want to fight for happiness, to scream.
How I want to live, not die....

Ilya Anisimov

Does this happiness depend on our actions or inactions? It seems to me that happiness is something formless and certainly not tangible. It is like God, it is tangible. And it is not the quantity of this "happiness" that is happiness itself.

...man, in addition to happiness, needs unhappiness just as surely and absolutely as much!

F.M. Dostoevsky

I often think back to my conversation with @kutuzya about happiness, love and relationships. And then I came across a video where a grandmother shows a trick with a coin and a bottle of water to her grandfather. The ending of the trick... if you can do the same thing emotionally after decades of living together - you know what happiness is!
