Can there really be a steady state of happiness? Happiness can depend on factors beyond our control. Happiness is just a bonus on top of the steady returns of a life structured and balanced for well-being. Even the smaller and larger sorrows that life will bring for everybody will be unable to shake too much a life set up for well-being. I think I get what Ashwin and Raj are saying and agree with them. I am probably just quibbling over words but understanding exactly what one one has in mind as being the state of happiness seems important to me.
