Is happiness “just an illusion”? Let’s look at “Don’t worry, be content” instead of “don’t worry be happy”. Happiness is a constart swinging pendulum. Contentment may be what we need to address. Pretending to be happy isn’t happiness. Pretending to be perfect is anything but. Release the pressure you put on yourself or on others to be perfect. Contentment and peace are less manic. Does happiness exist or is it really contentment we all desperately need? Too much is too much of anything, even “happiness”.
