unhappiness pool

In our psyche there exists the perfect moment in time. It is referred to in tough times rarely and always in times of happiness. This tells me that happiness breeds happy things. Is it possible to be happy all the time? NO it is not, especially in a place where there is so much unhappiness thrown our way. This gives us a pool to swim in that brings ample opportunity to derive pleasure from unhappy things. Because we get so caught up in unhappy things, we lose sometimes our ability to become happy: happy can be so unfamiliar at times we can have it and neer even know it; a reflection of our existence in the pool of unhappiness. We derive pleasure in the search for happiness and we are told this search is wise. If we never had to become a part of this big swim, we could in fact dig our own pool and fill it with warm water for those cold days when we feel so alone.
