Why Am I Still Talking?

Sunday 17 March 2024

Happiness Is the Background of All Emotions

A woman who experienced causeless happiness last year is now deeply troubled by the suffering of those affected by the invasion of Gaza. She questions how her happiness can stay intact amid such distress, feeling it’s inappropriate to ignore this suffering. Rupert replies that happiness, akin to the blue sky, is unaltered by events but can be obscured by them. Happiness is our true nature, inherent in all, yet often concealed by layers of emotion. Happiness is not an emotion; it is the background to all emotions.
