happiness

The author claims that the source of happiness doesnt come from you, it comes from those around you. For example trying to be funny, its something that you cant just enjoy yourself it has gain happiness around you which then makes that person truly happy. In my perspective I think happiness is only built through desire and achievement. If you achieve something, Isn't that one of the best feelings of happiness? Or having the desire to have or reach something is happiness. If you have desire in your life, I believe you are at least somewhat happy. Happiness is a complex feeling but when it comes down to it, its really just a feeling of absorbing ourselves within our own endeavors.
