Once one states specifics of happiness or otherwise, then that's when the trap of dualism opens its mouth. Perhaps it's a nice car today, but it could be money or jewellry tomorrow. Like many things in life, this 'happiness' has a temporary existence, to later be replaced by something else. Those group of people who decide together the happiness or otherwise of any particular individual will never get it right, and the whole exercise will be nothing better than a guessing game
Despite the confusion at the forefront of the so-called conscious state, , the big 'I' which is always in the background will always have the natural world-view. Paying heed to such however, is another matter. 'Right' as such comes in many differnt foms, or presentation..and to use such word is adding the non-existent permanence to all phenomena Buddha be praised Mel --- On Wed, 4/5/11, ED <[email protected]> wrote: > What makes one happy? Consider a specific person. Then, those who know this person would each have different explanations for his happy/unhappy state of mind. My choice for top place is: "Having a 'right' world-view", that is, having a 'right' attitude toward all phenomena. --ED
