HAPPINESS

The overcoming of not unknown obstacles toward a known goal and, transiently, the contemplation of, or indulgence in, pleasure.

1. is not itself an emotion. It is a word which states a condition, and the anatomy of that condition is interest. Happiness, you could say, is the overcoming of not unknowable obstacles toward a known goal. (8ACC-4, 541OC06) 2. comes from self-determinism, production and pride. Happiness is power and power is being able to do what one is doing when one is doing it. (HCO PL 3 Apr 72)
