RE: Principle of the Day....presented by Bleujay

Greetings @peaceandmoney ,

Lovely to hear from you. Thank you for your kind reply. The principle definitely gives us something to think about.

Perhaps it depends on a person's definition of happiness. In this context...I would use the synonym, contentment versus the demand syndrome, the antonym.

The idea is that we should not depend on others for happiness...but that that happiness must come from inside.

Can others take your happiness from you? If yes...we are depending on people/circumstances for our happiness. Yes...we may be displeased...however the attitude is that of 'being at peace with it'/our core is content not discombobulated at the disturbance. We still deal with the matter objectively.

There is no doubt we receive great satisfaction/ fulfilment/ pleasure etc. from those in our lives....however the Principle remains the same...No one can make you happy....just as we cannot make someone happy/content/at peace etc.

From your reply...I thought I would take the part that was the 'no' and see if there was more that could be said. ^__^

Kind Regards,

Bleujay

Thank you for opportunity to dialogue over the principle.
