Happiness is a part of our nature.
It is not wrong to desire it.
What is wrong is that we keep on seeking it outside.
While in reality, it is inside.
A happy person went to a garden early in the morning. He saw some drops of dew on the flowers that seemed like shining pearls to him.
While another person, who was feeling sad, saw those drops of dew as tears - and he thought that nature was also crying with him.
Although the drops of dew were the same - they were perceived differently by both the visitors according to the state of their mind.
So, depending on our mood - the same thing or incidence can make us happy or sad -
Because Happiness is inside - not outside.

Beautiful message. I remember you sharing a poem on this same subject few years back.
