was ist das- die Glucklichkeit?

Benjamin once wrote that happiness is the ability to look inside yourself without being terrified. And this got me thinking that we shouldn't be asking "are you happy?" but rather "what would happiness look like to you at this given moment?" Now - the ability to inhabit the present without the anxiety of trying to be elsewhere or elsewhen.

i think at this given moment the only way i could be happy was if i left my mind and floated on a clowd of happiness. there's too much bogging me down on earth. gotta forget everything around me...
