"Happiness comes most strongly form making others happy which is mot effectively done through kinds and compassion, and doing so shows them how to achieve happiness for themselves."
Happiness is the reason you created us. To share the wonderfulness of experiencing it. It can only come about, no, that thought doesn't follow. What is happiness? Is it satisfaction with what you accomplish? Is it accepting the universe as it is? According to the Dalai Lama, it is a lasting thing unlike the transientness of pleasure. It's a state of mind. It's being free of suffering, anxiety, fear. Suffering is the antithesis of happiness, so that is circular. And, suffering here, in the context in which the DL uses the term does not refer to physical pain and suffering, but to internal suffering of the spirit or soul. Happiness is a state of mind that is lasting unlike pleasure which is fleetingly transient.
