'Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.'

Happiness is simply the absence of desire. When you observe a cue, but do not desire to change your state, you are content with the current situation. Happiness is not about the achievement of pleasure (which is joy or satisfaction), but about the lack of desire. It arrives when you have no urge to feel differently. Happiness is the state you enter when you no longer want to change your state.

"When you realize there is nothing lacking," Lao Tzu says, "the whole world belongs to you."
